Apyron

Apyron Technologies was an advanced materials company focused on the development of catalytic and adsorbent technologies for environmental and life science applications. The company specialized in the removal of contaminants such as arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals from water supplies using its proprietary Aqua-Bind and XSORBX technologies. While primarily known for water purification, Apyron's materials were also explored for use in medical devices and pharmaceutical processing to ensure high-purity environments. The company was acquired by Molycorp in 2010 to integrate its specialized filtration technologies into a broader rare-earth materials portfolio.
