RAXORB-5

RAXORB⁵ is an inorganic sorbent with a crystalline structure, based on titanium and zirconium oxides, characterized by thermal, chemical and radiation resistance and by selectivity and catalytic activity. It is an effective catalyst-to-catalyst carrier especially for boiling mode processes and as filtering pack in sorption columns.

RAXORB⁵ is produced in whitish/yellowish spherical granules sizing 0.2-2mm with a well-developed specific surface, a high porosity and good mechanical strength.

Typical Product Applications:

• Generation of ⁶⁸Ge - ⁶⁸Ga and production of ⁹⁹Mo.
• Decontamination of reactor water coolants from radionuclides (⁵⁸Co, ⁶⁰Co, ⁵¹Cr, ⁶⁵Zn, ⁵⁴Mn, ⁹⁰Sr, ¹⁰⁶Ru, etc.).
• Deactivation of wastewaters, prior of discharging, from uranium, plutonium, transuranium elements and radionuclides (⁶⁰Co, ⁵⁹Fe, ⁶⁵Zn, ⁹⁰Sr, etc.).
• Uranium sorption from seawater to produce uranium concentrate (>0.5g/dm³).
• Extraction of platinum group metals from chloride solutions and during analytical separation of different anions.
• Heterogeneous Organic Catalysis for the dehydrogenization of alcohols and ethylbenzene, acidulation of aromatic compounds, isomerization, etc.
• Detoxication by removal of nitrogen oxides from fuel gases discharged by thermal stations.
• Removal of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds from discharged industrial gases.
• Removal of carbon monoxide and organic carbon compounds from combustion gases.
• Catalytic clean burning out of aggressive organic gases.
• Purification of substances and compounds used in microelectronics, instrumentation, optics, etc.
• Removal of micro-impurities of heavy and transition metals (W, Mo, Re, Se, Te, V, U, Cr, Cu, Co, etc.) from solutions of different salts.
• Precipitation of heavy metals (Pb, Hg, Cr, V, Mo, etc.), fluorine and phosphate ions from salty solutions.
• Selective extraction of As from technological solutions (i.e. from hydrometallurgical treatment of salty solutions).
• Removal of inorganic impurities from organic liquids.
