Problem
Conventional methods for producing metal oxides often rely on energy-intensive processes and hazardous chemicals, leading to high costs and significant environmental impact. Existing technologies struggle to efficiently utilize secondary metal sources, hindering the development of a circular economy for metallic waste.
Solution
Nanomox provides sustainable and cost-effective advanced materials and thin films, including metal oxide particles ranging from nano to macro sizes, using a patent-pending Oxidative Ionothermal Synthesis (OIS) process. This low-energy method employs green catalytic solvents at low temperatures to directly oxidize metals, significantly reducing energy consumption and minimizing waste streams compared to traditional high-temperature or acid-based processes. The OIS process enables the creation of diverse particle structures with tailored properties, enhancing the performance of existing products and facilitating the development of new applications across various industries. Nanomox also focuses on utilizing secondary metal sources, transforming metallic waste into valuable metal compounds like zinc oxide, thereby promoting a sustainable circular economy.
Target Audience
Nanomox serves industries utilizing metal oxides, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, paints, electronics, and energy, as well as companies seeking sustainable material supply chains and waste recycling solutions.
