MICRO-SORB 30/60 LVM
MICRO-SORB® 30/60 LVM (Low Volatile Matter) product is a thermally activated, granular attapulgite mineral that is suitable for a wide range of sorbent and filtration applications. The LVM product has good sorptivity and a high level of particle strength, resulting in lower attrition and fines. Micro-sorb LVM granular attapulgites are available in a wide range of sizes and packaging to maximize end-use flexibility.
MICRO-SORB LVM granular products are effective as filtration aids in a variety of liquid systems. Filtration systems using Micro-sorb sorbents are used to filter contaminants out of a variety of fuels and oils including jet fuel, kerosene, various non-edible oils, and many others. Testing has also shown that these attapulgite products can reduce the concentration of heavy metals and even certain viral or bacterial contaminants from liquid streams. Micro-sorb LVM products are recommended where the feed concentration of water as a contaminant is elevated.
