- Description
- Arsenic Treatment for Drinking Water Technology Transfer Opportunity Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has developed a new material (patent pending), Specific Anion Nanoengineered Sorbents (SANS), that can be used for simple and cost effective removal of arsenic contamination in drinking water. This new class of materials provides inexpensive and effective removal of anionic contaminants from drinking water and wastewater, without requiring costly pH adjustment. SANS media can be used in both granular filter bed and coagulation/microfiltration water treatment systems, and can be disposed as nonhazardous waste. The SANS materials will allow both rural and municipal water systems of varying water usage to meet the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) arsenic drinking water standard of 10 parts per billion. SANS materials have been tested in laboratory batch and column tests, where they have surpassed the capacity and effectiveness of commercially available arsenic sorbent or coagulation materials. SANS has been evaluated as both solid granules and as surface coatings on inexpensive substrates. The latter application is a means to produce very inexpensive, but effective, arsenic sorbents. Both sorbent media and coagulation/microfiltration technologies can be adapted for use in many water utility systems, thereby significantly reducing water utility compliance costs for the new EPA standard. Additional laboratory tests demonstrate that SANS media can be used for treatment of other regulated anionic contaminants, such as chromate, perchlorate or pertechnetate. Further technical information about SANS materials may be found at the following website: http://www.sandia.gov/eesector/gs/gc/SANS/index.htm. Sandia is making the SANS material and treatment technology available to commercial companies interested in partnering with Sandia to develop near-term and/or future applications of SANS for drinking or waste water treatment via licensing agreements. For further information, please respond by mail or fax to Alane Dulski by February 22, 2002 at: Sandia National Laboratories, MS 1380, P. O. Box 5800, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185-1380. Fax: (505) 843-4163. Please indicate the date and title of this CBD notice and if your company would be interested in entering into a licensing agreement with Sandia.
