DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d7pp44/adsorbents_market) has announced the addition of the "Adsorbents Market in Americas 2015-2019" report to their offering.
The adsorbents market in the Americas to grow at a CAGR of 6.12% over the period 2014-2019
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the adsorbents market in Americas for the period 2015-2019. The market can be segmented on the basis of application into the following: application in process industries, water purification, air separation, and other applications.
Traditionally, in the Americas, the majority of adsorbents have been consumed in refining applications in the process industries; however, owing to the recent emphasis on environmental protection, their consumption trend has shifted toward in water purification and air separation applications.
Despite the high prices of activated carbon, demand for activated carbon-based adsorbents for both traditional and advanced applications has rapidly increased owing to their superior adsorption and adaptability characteristics. In the Americas, these adsorbents are commercially available in granular, powdered, and pelletized forms, and have found extensive use in waste water treatment, liquid purification, and air treatment applications. However, with increasing innovation in activated carbon-based specialty adsorbents in recent years, they are now being used in new applications such as removal of mercury from air, liquid petrochemicals, industrial exhaust gases, and radioiodine removal in the nuclear energy and defense sectors.
According to the report, as a result of increased public awareness about contamination by these substances, the governments in the Americas, especially the US government, have enforced stringent laws for wastewater treatment and dumping. Adsorbents are extensively used for treating wastewater to remove heavy metals. With public consciousness about environmental protection gradually increasing in the countries in South and Central America, the enforcement of regulations for wastewater treatment will be a major driving force for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Further, the report states that China is the largest producer of zeolite in the global market. This poses significant threats to international manufacturers of zeolite in terms of pricing because it is the most commonly used adsorbent.
