Advanced Nanostructured Adsorbent for Polishing and Micropollutant Removal in Water Treatment

In an era of increasingly stringent water quality standards, trace contaminants—such as organics, micropollutants, pharmaceuticals, and fine particulates—pose persistent challenges in final polishing stages and advanced recycling loops. NanoTrapC is a cutting-edge nanostructured adsorbent designed for high-fidelity capture of these elusive pollutants, enabling superior water clarity and safety.

What is NanoTrapC and How It Works

NanoTrapC is a specialized nanostructured adsorbent/colloid capture agent featuring engineered surfaces with immense active area at the nanoscale. Its functionalized structure selectively binds trace particulates, dissolved organics, and micropollutants through mechanisms including electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interactions, and surface complexation.

In general water treatment plants:

• Polishing Stages: Added post-filtration or clarification, NanoTrapC targets residual turbidity, colloids, and organics that conventional methods miss, producing ultra-clear effluent.
• Advanced Recycling Loops: In tertiary treatment or reuse systems (e.g., industrial or municipal), it removes pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, and PFAS precursors, supporting direct or indirect potable reuse.
• Integration: Dosed as a suspension or in fixed-bed filters, it enhances existing processes without major infrastructure changes.

Key advantages include rapid kinetics, high capacity even at low concentrations (ng/L to µg/L), and regenerability for sustainable operation.

Applications and Benefits

• Effective in primary/secondary effluent polishing for municipal plants.
• Ideal for industrial wastewater with trace organics (e.g., food processing, chemicals).
• Supports compliance with emerging regulations on micropollutants.
