Reduce Material Usage

Reduce Material Usage with Evonik’s Advanced Adsorbent Technologies

Use less material per cycle. Evonik supplies two high-capacity adsorbent technologies for material-efficient operation. CHLOROCEL® 909 delivers more than 15% higher chloride loading than competitive mixed-metal-oxide adsorbents and doubles service life compared with alumina products (Evonik press release, March 2026). LiOCEL® 360 is a lithium-selective sorbent that recovers lithium using water alone. Each benefit is stated against the named alternative; no portfolio-wide resource-reduction claim is made.

Why Choose Evonik for Reducing Material Usage?

Higher Efficiency, Lower Consumption: Advanced adsorbents designed to maximize loading capacity and operational performance.
Extended Lifecycles: Longer operating cycles mean fewer replacements, less downtime, and reduced material waste.
Documented material-efficiency attributes: CHLOROCEL® 909 lengthens chloride-guard-bed cycles and reduces reload frequency compared with alumina products. LiOCEL® 360 recovers lithium using only water, with no acid or base regeneration step. Each statement is scoped to its own product and its own comparison.
Tailored Expertise: Evonik partners with you to optimize your process—because every application is unique.

Solutions by Application

Refining & Petrochemical Processing

In catalytic reforming, inefficient chloride removal leads to frequent changeouts, higher material consumption, and increased operational costs. Evonik transforms this challenge into an opportunity for efficiency.

CHLOROCEL® 909 – High-performance mixed metal oxide adsorbent engineered to remove inorganic chlorides in catalytic reformer guard beds.
CHLOROCEL® 909 in refining and petrochemical processing: more than 15% higher chloride loading than competitive mixed-metal-oxide adsorbents, and double the service life of alumina products.
Optimized particle design maintains crush strength and a stable pressure drop across the bed.
The formulation minimizes green-oil formation and unwanted side reactions in the guard bed.

Result: fewer changeouts per operating year than the alumina reference case, lower maintenance effort and less spent adsorbent for disposal.

Battery & Circular Economy (Direct Lithium Extraction)

Conventional brine routes rely on large evaporation ponds and long residence times. Evonik LiOCEL® sorbents recover lithium directly from brine in a water-based process that needs no acid or base for regeneration or extraction, and that removes the weather dependency associated with evaporation ponds. Quantified comparisons of material or energy intensity against a specific conventional process are not published and are not claimed here.

LiOCEL® 360 – Lithium-selective sorbent for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE).
Recoverss lithium using only water, with no acid or base required for extraction or regeneration
High lithium selectivity and capacity are maintained under demanding operating condition
Direct extraction removes the dependency on large evaporation ponds and their weather-driven cycle times.

What this means in practice: CHLOROCEL® 909 reduces adsorbent reload frequency in catalytic reformer guard beds compared with alumina products, and LiOCEL® 360 recovers lithium with water alone instead of an acid- or base-regenerated route. Talk to Evonik about which of the two applies to your unit. Emissions, circularity and battery-production outcomes are not claimed without a lifecycle assessment that names its reference case.
