Summary
The Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry offers consumers Eco-friendly sorbents of heavy metal ions (Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, etc.) under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.
Description
Sorbents for purifying natural and wastewater from highly toxic heavy metal ions are widely used in industry, public utilities, and environmental protection. They effectively remove metal ions such as mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium, and others, preventing their negative impact on the environment and human health.

Major global manufacturers of sorbents for water purification from heavy metals:

1. Purolite Corporation (USA)
- Features: One of the world's leading manufacturers of ion-exchange resins and sorbents for removing heavy metals from water.
2. Lanxess (Germany)
- Features: The company offers a wide range of ion-exchange resins and sorbents for water purification from heavy metals.
3. Ion Exchange (India)
- Features: The company specializes in the production of sorbents and ion-exchange materials for water purification.
4. Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan)
- Specialties: Manufacturer of sorbents and filter materials used to remove toxic metals from water.
5. Veolia Water Technologies (France)
- Specialties: The company develops water purification systems and sorption technologies for heavy metal removal.

The Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry has developed sorbents and filters using them, designed to purify natural and wastewater from highly toxic heavy metal ions.

Information on sorbents and filtration systems is available on the Institute's website in the " Laboratory of Adsorbents and Adsorption Processes." section.
Advantages and Innovations
Main advantages: high sorption capacity for heavy metal ions (up to 500..700 mg/g), stability in acidic environments (up to pH 1..2), possibility of recycling spent sorbent.

Additional comments
The Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry is a leading scientific institution conducting research in the field of chemistry.

The Institute's main areas of activity are:

Development of technologies for processing polymineral potassium and phosphate ores, conversion methods for producing potassium sulfate, beneficiation technologies for sylvinite ores, and improvement of the quality of mineral fertilizers. Development of initial data and justification of technological approaches for organizing new mining and processing facilities. Engineering support for technological projects to create new large-scale facilities for processing mineral salts and their byproducts.

Validation of technologies for the production of new forms of mineral fertilizers, including complex fertilizers containing microelements and plant growth stimulants. Development of modifying additives and hydrophobic compositions for the agglomeration of finely dispersed chemical products, and technologies for producing granulated materials by pelletizing and pressing.

Control of structure formation processes, thermodynamic and aggregative stability of oil and organomineral dispersions using chemical reagents, with the goal of creating new effective modifiers and composite materials for use in energy- and resource-saving technologies in civil engineering, road construction, and the oil refining industry.

Creation of new inorganic adsorbents, catalytically active and membrane materials for water treatment and purification of process liquids, and new composite and hybrid bioinorganic materials.

Adsorption surface modification, flocculation, and stabilization in heterogeneous salt dispersion systems using water-soluble polymers in mineral ore processing, water purification, and water treatment; development of inorganic coagulant and polymer flocculant compositions for wastewater treatment and dewatering of clay-salt dispersions.

Development of new chemical additives – plasticizers, water repellents, sealants, waterproofing, and anticorrosive materials for concrete and metal structures. Creation of new paints and varnishes (water-based, powder, heat-resistant, superhydrophobic, and superhydrophilic), and corrosion-protective coatings.
