Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PLANET) (PINKSHEETS: PRRY),
developer, manufacturer and marketer of PetroLuxus(TM) and other
"Green" technologies for the remediation and recovery of the
planet's resources, is pleased to announce the successful
remediation of cadmium laced water with its new technology.
Utilizing newly developed proprietary compounds and process, the
successful proof of concept opens a new environmental remediation
market for the company. The company anticipates that this new
technology may additionally be used to remediate waters
contaminated with mercury, lead and zinc.
Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal to humans. Toxicity of
cadmium has been linked to a number of health conditions such as
heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Cadmium is considered more
toxic than lead and mercury. Cadmium concentrates in the kidneys,
liver and various other organs. Human exposure to cadmium toxicity
is increasing globally due to a growing number of cadmium uses.
Cadmium is commonly used in coatings of iron, steel and copper. It
is used in copper alloys, fungicides, stabilizers in rubber and
plastics and many other products. The manufacturers of these
products often end up polluting water.
PLANET's Director of Technology, Dr. Hal Potts, and his staff
designed and developed a new proprietary solution and an innovative
process to precipitate the targeted metal. The first round of
testing targeted cadmium. EPA standards for acceptable count of
cadmium in water is 5 parts per billion. This new technology has
been designed to drop the Cadmium count to and below 5 parts per
billion. The company anticipates filing for protection of
Intellectual Property rights for the newly designed reactor vessels
and process controls.
Further testing will be conducted in the near future on other
common toxic metals of mercury, lead and zinc.
