Humasorb®

Solution To Pollution
Low Cost for Simultaneous Cleanup of Heavy
Metals, Radionuclides and Organics

• Metals, Radionuclides, Organics
• Multi-Purpose Adsorber
• High Cation-Exchange Capacity
• Can Be Regenerated
• Cost-Effective
• Environmentally Friendly

HUMASORB® is based on the natural properties of humic acid and incorporates high ion-exchange capacity, the ability to chelate metals, adsorb organics, and also reduce toxic forms of contaminants such as Cr (VI) and chlorinated organics into non-toxic components.
