Beads for Troubled WatersProduct improvement is a fundamental part of GSA Resources culture. The existing line of CABSORBâ ion exchange and sorption products has good customer acceptance. However, there is always room for improvement. GSA is developing beaded and extruded products for ion exchange applications that cannot tolerate even minimal initial product turbidity when used in ion exchange applications. Beaded products, which are uniform in size and sphericity also produce more uniform flow rates in gas sorption applications. Test samples of ZS500 chabazite products are currently available. We will have larger samples based on our proprietary formularies with GSA enhancements available for testing and evaluation. The beads provide an improved and more uniform flow in gas treatment and ion exchange applications. The beads will also provide an enhanced substrate for coated and surface modified products. We can provide samples of KMnO4 impregnated and surfactant modified beads for customer testing and evaluation.

New Product DevelopmentsGSA Resources is developing several new products and systems. Pictured below is a mobile ion exchange unit that can be configured in either an upflow fluidized bed or a downflow conventional system. Its first commercial application will be to treat effluents from a hydrolyzing operation at a radioactive treatment site in the eastern United States. GSA Resources has also developed products that are effective in the remediation of Cr+6. In bench scale testing an initial challenge of 105 ppm Cr+6 resulted in 99.99% removal efficiencies through 1400 bed volumes and 96% efficiencies through 2400 bed volumes. GSA Resources, Inc. and its partners are the leading producers of natural zeolite products and providers of technical solutions for complex environmental problems. They are working to develop a mobile ion exchange unit for polishing effluents containing heavy metal and radioactive cations.
