Chelok® Polymer Technology
The result of over two decades of research, our patented Chelok polymers rapidly remove, concentrate, and recover dilute metals, redefining what’s possible for efficient filtration and cost-effective onsite metal recovery from water, soil and ash.
Chelok polymers are patented, highly efficient, water-insoluble compounds that selectively bind heavy metals. These non-toxic, reusable polymers offer significant environmental and industrial benefits:
Superior Metal Binding: Deliver over 500 times the binding capacity of traditional ion exchange (IX) resins, with low affinity for Group 1 and 2 elements.
- Metal Extraction & Recovery: Efficiently extract precious metals, rare earth elements, and critical minerals from mining and industrial waste streams for recovery and reuse.
- Lower Treatment Costs: Simplify water treatment and reduce costs associated with reverse osmosis and pump-and-treat filtration systems.
Cleaner, Safer Water: Effectively remove toxic heavy metals, including lead and mercury, enabling safer water discharge.
Reduced Environmental Impact: Minimize industrial pollution, improve waste management, and support more sustainable operations.
Our technology is backed up by 14 U.S. and 45 international patents, and commercialized across multiple industries
- Water Filtration
- Environmental Remediation
- Metal Recovery and Mining
- Aquaculture/Aquariums
- Pool & Spa
- Marine and RV
Chelok polymers are able to bind and extract the elements highlighted in the Periodic Table of Elements below. Additional elements are being added as research is completed.
