With the improvement of living standards, water purifiers have gradually become one of our necessary household appliances like refrigerators.
We usually hear "KDF" when we buy water purifiers, and businesses often promote the various benefits of "KDF",
so what is "KDF"? What's the use?
What is kdf?
kdf is a kind of high-purity copper and zinc alloy particles, which is a new type of filter medium. Its water purification principle is to use redox reaction, KDF medium to exchange electrons with pollutants, turn many pollutants into harmless substances, can effectively reduce or remove chlorine and heavy metals in water, and inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and algae in water. . This filter medium is widely used in the United States and other developed countries for water purification, and is called "water gold".
What are the advantages of KDF for water pretreatment?
Water pretreatment with KDF is a simple, low-cost method. It protects expensive and fragile water treatment components from chlorine, microorganisms, and scaling. Compared with microfiltration, ultrafiltration, Reverse osmosis membrane, ion exchange resin, granular activated carbon, KDF has more advantages in improving water treatment efficiency and maintaining high efficiency, with lower consumption. Today, KDF has been widely used internationally from kitchen faucets to industrial cooling water treatment.
1. Reduce mineral scaling
KDF treatment media can prevent the formation and accumulation of mineral hard scale, mainly to prevent the crystallization of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite.
2. Reduce suspended solids
The average particle size of the KDF treatment medium is about 60 mesh, and the smallest particle is about 110 mesh. It can also play the role of physical filtration to remove suspended substances. Generally, KDF filter media can effectively remove particles with a diameter of less than 50 μm and prevent them from entering the human body. .
3. Removal of oxidant (residual chlorine) in water
The water in most areas always has the smell of bleaching powder, because it contains residual chlorine, which will generate a potential carcinogen - chloroform, which can also cause many diseases in the human body. KDF55 can effectively remove residual chlorine and other oxidants in water.
4. Inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms and control the growth of microorganisms, thereby preventing the damage of microorganisms to water.
5. Removal of heavy metals and hydrogen sulfide
KDF has many advantages and is very suitable for municipal tap water treated with chlorine gas. KDF water treatment medium also meets environmental protection requirements and is currently an ideal water treatment method. Therefore, KDF is widely added to the filter element of the water purifier. When purchasing a water purifier, pay more attention to whether the filter element has KDF filter material, so as to achieve a better water purification effect.
In the communication with major filter element and water purifier manufacturers,
it is found that the spherical filter material has a longer life and higher efficiency.
Through the efforts of our R&D department,KDF55/85 ceramic ball was successfully developed and put into the market today.
The efficiency of sterilization, dechlorination, and heavy metal adsorption is higher, meanwhile the cost is greatly reduced.
It has promoted an industrial revolution of KDF as a water treatment filter material.
