Fast adsorption kinetics due to small particle size supports product miniaturization and high flow rates. Adsorbs lead, cadmium, antimony, mercury, nickel,
hexa-valent chromium, and beryllium with high efficiency. Capacity for lead at pH – 6.5 is 160-185mg/gram. Adsorption accomplished by rapid ion-exchange followed by slower chemisorption that results in complete and permanent immobilization and fixation of contaminant metals. Operates effectively throughout 5.5 – 9.5 pH range.

TMAC has been used for the production of gravity-flow and pressurized health-claim carbon blocks. TMAC can be used to greatly expand a product’s claims against toxic metals in both number of metals targeted and flow rate or capacity extension. It is significantly more economical than alternative trace metal adsorbents. TMAC can be bonded to activated carbon granules to produce a composite particle with enhanced adsorption properties.
