Product Overview

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like dioxins, furans, and PCBs represent some of the most challenging contaminants in modern environmental management. Their chemical stability, low vapor pressure, and tendency to adsorb onto particulates make them resistant to conventional treatment.

DIOSORB-S is our response to this challenge. Developed through a proprietary activation and surface modification process, this specialty carbon features an enhanced mesopore structure that captures POPs more effectively than standard micropore-dominated carbons. The surface chemistry is tuned to promote strong adsorption of planar aromatic compounds—the structural class that includes dioxins and PCBs.

Key Application Areas

  • Municipal and hazardous waste incinerators — flue gas dioxin and furan control
  • Cement kilns using alternative fuels — emission compliance
  • Metal smelting and refining — dioxin reduction in off-gases
  • PCB-contaminated soil remediation — vapor-phase capture during thermal treatment
  • Chemical manufacturing — process vent control for chlorinated organics

  • Q
    What makes DIOSORB-S effective for dioxin and POPs removal?
    A

    DIOSORB-S features an enhanced mesopore structure developed through proprietary activation and surface modification. This structure captures persistent organic pollutants more effectively than standard micropore-dominated carbons. The surface chemistry is tuned to promote strong adsorption of planar aromatic compounds, the structural class that includes dioxins, furans, and PCBs.

  • Q
    Why are POPs particularly challenging to remove with standard carbon?
    A

    Persistent organic pollutants exhibit chemical stability, low vapor pressure, and strong tendency to adsorb onto particulates. Their large molecular size and planar structure resist capture by micropore-dominated carbons. DIOSORB-S's tuned mesopore distribution and modified surface chemistry address these specific challenges.

  • Q
    Is custom formulation available for unique POP mixtures?
    A

    Yes. Contact the PURESTAR technical team for application-specific specifications. Custom formulations can be developed for unique contaminant profiles, operating temperatures, and gas stream compositions. Dust-suppression packaging is available for safe handling in hazardous waste applications.
