RAXORB^3A is characterized by a cation-exchange sorption capacity, similar to standard inorganic sorbents in neutral media, combined with chemosorption and molecular absorption and by an extended thermal, chemical and radiation resistance.

RAXORB^3A is produced, with a proprietary sol-gel technology, in glassy white granules of density of about 1.04 Kg/dm3, nearly spherical s

izing 0.4-1.6mm, providing good mechanical strength (more than 10 MPa) and superior kinetic characteristics

Product Applications
