Say Hello to Technical Innovation with Our Newest Product: Kylin Pellets

An Intro to Our Beast, Kylin Pellets

What is Kylin Pellets^®?

To begin with, Kylin is a legendary hooved chimerical one-horned creature that appears in Chinese mythology. Why do we name our pellets after Kylin? Because they have something in common: they all originate from China and are unique.

Kylin Pellets^® was developed in China by our intimate partner (Zhanyuan Environmental Technologies Co., Ltd.) in 2021 to remove phosphates from the water. The active element in Kylin Pellets® is lanthanum, a rare-earth element with a strong affinity to bind with phosphate.

I know, it’s starting to sound like certian types of phosphorus sequestering agent with a fancy name to you. But the stunning and unique features of Kylin Pellets^® distinguish them from traditional materials:

• Kylin Pellets^® do not disperse or dissolve in water. They will stay in the form as they were in the water, forever.
• Kylin Pellets^® have a sustained absorbing functionality. It works like another Chinese mythical creature-Pixiu, who is capable of drawing wealth (in this case, phosphate) from all directions, all the time.
• The maximum adsorption capacity of Kylin Pellets^® is 26mg/g. That’s quite a number!
• Kylin Pellets^® can reduce phosphate close to or below standard detection limits (10μg/L). We don’t want to brag, but not all filter products could push this far.

Besides, Kylin Pellets^® is environmentally safe, easy to use, and can permanently bind phosphate.

Phosphate Removal Capability Verification

We carried out a month-long experiment in November 2022 to further verify the above statement.

Design of the Experiment

The primary purpose of this experiment is to verify that Kylin Pellets^® is capable of reducing phosphate close to or below standard detection limits. As a result, the dosage we adopted here is slightly higher than recommended.

Result of the Experiment

The test result of PO₄-P in the two groups at each point of time are listed here:

Effect of Kylin Pellets on Phosphate (PO₄-P) Removal

The data showed that after 31 days of static reaction, Phosphate in the water samples was reduced from 1.2mg/L to 0.02mg/L and 0.01 mg/L. The phosphate removal rates were 98.3% and 99.2%, respectively. The result shows that Kylin Pellets^® is capable of reducing phosphate close to or below standard detection limits.

In addition, we observed that the Kylin Pellets^® morphology remained undispersed in the granular state throughout the test.

Final Thoughts

Despite the impact of epidemic control on the conduct of the experiment, the test can still be considered a success. Because the experiment perfectly verified the product’s ability to remove phosphate.

The form of Kylin Pellets^® does not change when added to water, which gives Kylin Pellets^® a great advantage and market potential for phosphorus removal in multiple scenarios.

In our next experiment, we will verify the maximum adsorption capacity of Kylin Pellets^®, under the recommended dosage, in bigger experiment equipment and with denser monitoring frequency.

Stay tuned for our next report!
