KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a commonly used copper-zinc alloy filter media for water treatment, primarily used to remove harmful substances such as chlorine, heavy metals, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water, while also providing scale prevention and antibacterial functions.
KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a commonly used copper-zinc alloy filter media for water treatment, primarily used to remove harmful substances such as chlorine, heavy metals, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water, while also providing scale prevention and antibacterial functions. KDF filter media is made of high-purity copper and zinc alloy particles, and its working principle is based on redox reactions that convert pollutants in water into harmless substances, thus purifying the water.
Specifically, KDF works based on electrochemical principles, where the copper and zinc alloy particles react with pollutants in the water through electron transfer as the water flows. For example, it effectively removes chlorine and chloramine from water by oxidizing them into harmless substances. Additionally, it can remove heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and copper by reacting with these metal ions, fixing or transforming them into safer forms.
KDF is widely used in various fields such as household water treatment systems, industrial water treatment, pool water treatment, and drinking water purification. It is especially suitable for applications that require the removal of chlorine and heavy metals. In household water systems, it is often used in combination with activated carbon media to enhance water purification efficiency through a synergistic effect.
This filter media also has environmental benefits because it does not require the addition of chemicals and removes pollutants from water purely through physical and chemical reactions.
