Key Features: Micron Size 250-595um Attapulgite granular media, alkaline medium Easy handling, fast flow, color improvement General product improvement with high contaminant absorptivity Color Remediation In-Line Filtration Hot Scrub Recirculate Granular Media FAQ: How do I use granular media? Zeolite adsorbents can be used inline during extraction with LPG solvents or in a hot scrub with non-polar solvents of higher BP like Heptane Is this a replacement for powders? The answer depends on what your processing goals are e.g. color removal, pesticide remediation, etc. Each adsorbent for filtration media will have its own unique set of properties including pH, pore size, polarity, surface area that make certain adsorbents more suitable to certain uses. Can I mix granular media and powders? Yes, you can either mix powders with granular media or place the granular media on top a bed of powdered media. This will however result in a more restricted flow which will require additional pressure to pass your solution through your filter cake. Do I need to bake the media? Media does not need to be baked prior to use but can be only superficial water will be removed which may improve performance. To remove superficial moisture, bake for 8hrs at 200C (392F) How do I know how much media to use? This will depend on a few variables such as the amount of your starting material, the age of your starting material, and desired color of your final product. How does the media need to be stored? before and after use. Before use; Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place. After use; Store in a well-ventilated area, this media is saturated with flammable/explosive solvent and can self-ignite if not not handled properly. Is the media safe to handle without PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)? Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation. When workers face exposure to dust exceeding the occupational exposure limits they must use appropriate certified respirators. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) particulate respirator. What micron size filters are required? / The media is larger but are there fines? The media might be large but there are fine dust particles (about 5 million per lb.) that can get carried away in your solution and require separation. We suggest stacking a 5-micron filter on top of a 1-micron filter which will help keep your flow slow as well as filtering out any fine dust particles. The media didn't work, what did I do wrong? There is an exceptionally good chance you did not restrict your solvent flow enough. Try again with a much slower flow through your filter. Another variable you might consider adjusting is solvent temperature. Colder solvent will pull less lipids and waxes which can impede the efficiency of the adsorbent. Note: Bulk Bags and Bulk sizes are non-stocked items and will be ordered as needed and carry a several week lead time and require a forklift or pallet jack

Caustic soda is a common name for sodium hydroxide, which is a strong alkaline chemical compound. Both terms refer to the same chemical substance with the chemical formula NaOH. It is used in various industrial, commercial, and household applications, including cleaning, manufacturing, and chemical processes. What Is Sodium Hydroxide Structure? Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has a simple molecular structure consisting of one sodium (Na) atom, one oxygen (O) atom, and one hydrogen (H) atom. The structure of sodium hydroxide can be visualized as follows: In this structure, the sodium atom (Na) is bonded to the oxygen atom (O) through an ionic bond, and the oxygen atom is bonded to the hydrogen atom (H) through a covalent bond. The hydroxide ion (OH-) is formed by the combination of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, and it is the key component that gives sodium hydroxide its strong alkaline properties. What Is The pH of Sodium Hydroxide? The pH of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is very high and strongly alkaline. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and is commonly used to raise the pH of solutions. In its pure form, sodium hydroxide has a pH of approximately 14, which is the highest value on the pH scale. When dissolved in water, it dissociates into hydroxide ions (OH-) and sodium ions (Na+), resulting in a highly alkaline solution with a pH greater than 14. The exact pH of a sodium hydroxide solution will depend on its concentration and the amount dissolved in the solventWhat Are The Hazards of Sodium Hydroxide? Is Sodium Hydroxide A Weak or Strong Base? Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is considered a strong base. It is highly soluble in water and dissociates completely into sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved. This complete dissociation results in a high concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution, making sodium hydroxide a strong and effective source of hydroxide ions for chemical reactions. Strong bases like sodium hydroxide have a high tendency to accept protons (H+) from other substances, leading to the characteristic properties of strong bases, such as high alkalinity and the ability to neutralize acids.What Is Sodium Hydroxide? What Are The Hazards of Sodium Hydroxide? Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a caustic and highly reactive compound, and its use should be handled with care due to the following hazards: Corrosive to Skin and Tissues: Sodium hydroxide is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns upon contact with the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It can damage and destroy living tissue upon contact, leading to chemical burns and tissue damage.
