While EcoMat is focusing primarily on denitrification, we have performed
pilot tests, which confirm the ability to treat both perchlorate and
cyanide. Perchlorate arises from rocket fuel manufacture and in recent
years significant amounts have been detected in Nevada and California, with
transport via the Colorado River.
Cyanide is used in "heap-leach" mining, a technology used in noble metal
production.
Some testing has also shown that EcoMat's reactor and media can be used for
nitrification.
