Specialty Sorbents Market: Overview
In terms of type of material used, the specialty sorbents market can be divided into carbon black, chitosan, silica, and engineered nanomaterials. Chitosan is the most widely used type of specialty sorbents. Chitosan is increasingly being used in water treatment and sludge treatment, due to its ability to adsorb heavy metal ions. Engineered nanomaterials are witnessing rise in the demand at a rapid pace. Carbon nanotubes, titania, and silver nanomaterials are common engineered nanomaterials that are used as specialty sorbents. Based on end-user, the specialty sorbents market can be classified into oil & gas, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, construction, and others. Oil & gas is the leading end-user segment of the specialty sorbents market. Construction is the most rapidly expanding end-user segment of the specialty sorbents market, as specialty sorbents are highly used for water control in cements.
Specialty Sorbents Market: Market Trends & Developments
Specialty sorbents are used for cleaning machinery and plant floors that are prone to deposition of oil or chemicals. Spilled oil or chemicals pose safety hazards to workers. They may prove to be hazardous to the environment or cause contamination of raw materials or products. Specialty sorbents are also applied in oxygen absorption and moisture control. Specialty sorbents are employed for controlling the amount of water in cements. Proper water control in cement improves the strength of cement; provides frost protection; and reduces the amount of shrinkage that occurs during hardening. Due to these benefits, the construction sector is expected to witness higher adoption of specialty sorbents in the near future.
