Contaminated water sources contaminated with heavy metals (iron, chromium, manganese, lead, aluminum...) will greatly affect human health and industrial production activities. Filox beads are one of the most commonly used materials to filter water and remove heavy metals.
What are filox beads? General characteristics of filox plastic beads
Filox beads are made from pure ore, the main ingredient that makes up filox beads is manganese dioxide. The manganese layer covers the surface of filox beads, making it capable of effectively removing heavy metals.
Characteristics of filox beads.
- Filox seeds are dark brown in color, dry filox seeds separate from each other.
- The size is relatively uniform, about 0.1mm - 0.2mm, with many angles.
- Solid state, firm, heavier density than brim beads so it needs to be backwashed regularly with high backwash flow rate (12m3/h).
- The average density is about 1500mg/m3.
- Working environment: Temperature ranges from 10 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius, pH from 2 - 11.
- Filox seeds have a current market price of about 12,000 - 18,000 VND/kg.
Advantages of Filox beads
- Filox's ability to handle heavy metals is higher than other materials with the same function.
- The material does not corrode, is insoluble in water, so it has a long shelf life and can be reused by simply cleaning with water without using chemicals.
- Filox granules are not affected by environmental factors. At temperatures ranging from 10 - 70 degrees Celsius, filox granules are still able to handle heavy metals very well.
- The outstanding advantage of filox beads compared to brim beads is the ability to remove iron in water environments with a pH lower than 6.8, water with excess chlorine.
- Brim seeds have a much longer lifespan than other filter materials (5-7 years), but that also depends on the quality of the water source.
Disadvantages : Filox beads are more expensive than other types due to the complex production process of filox beads and the need to use modern equipment.
The role of filox in removing heavy metals.
- Filox seeds contain a large amount of the chemical manganese dioxide (MnO2). When encountering heavy metals such as iron (Fe), arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), a reduction reaction will occur, the MnO2 content is nearly 100%.
- Covering the outside of the filox beads is a layer of manganese with a content of up to 50%, helping to thoroughly and effectively filter out heavy metals.
- One of the biggest effects of filox seeds is the ability to completely eliminate fishy odors caused by iron contamination, remove white residue, and yellow scum in water.
- Filox beads are suitable for filtering water with low pH so that the water reaches the standard pH.
Application of filox beads in industry
- Filox granules are widely used to filter water from drilled wells and dug wells contaminated with heavy metals, especially in places heavily contaminated with iron due to mineral exploitation activities, and places with a lot of industrial waste.
- Before being released into the environment, industrial wastewater needs to be filtered through filox particles to remove heavy metals, ensuring the quality of the wastewater source does not affect the environment.
- Water sources supplied for daily life and industrial production must also be treated with filox beads to ensure the removal of odors and toxic substances in the water.
Where to buy Filox water filter material?
The quality of filox beads determines the quality of water, so it is necessary to choose suppliers of high quality filox beads, avoid buying fake goods, imitation goods, poor quality goods with cheap prices that are widely sold.
E&C Vietnam Environmental Technology Services Joint Stock Company is one of the leading units, operating for many years in the environmental field, specializing in providing technological equipment, water purifiers, and quality water filtration materials. quality, prestige, clear origin and a team of accurate, enthusiastic and experienced consultants.
