SHANGHAI, CHINA – October 21, 2026 – Shanghai Smax New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., a leading provider of homogeneous ion exchange membrane solutions, today officially announced the launch of its upgraded industrial waste acid recovery membrane series, built for high cost performance to serve global manufacturing clients. The new series is designed to address core pain points including high waste acid treatment costs, large fresh acid consumption, and excessive neutralization waste salt output for aluminum profile, titanium dioxide, stainless steel pickling and other surface treatment industries. It features concentration-driven operation, over 95% metal ion interception rate, and exclusive domestic phosphoric acid recovery capability. Through this launch, the company aims to help global industrial clients cut waste treatment costs, improve resource recycling efficiency, and further expand its footprint in Southeast Asian and other overseas markets. The new series is now open for global orders, with mass production and shipment starting from October 2026.
The upgraded waste acid recovery membrane series is built on the company’s proprietary homogeneous ion exchange membrane technology, with verified performance data from over 200 deployed equipment sets across industrial scenarios:
1. Concentration-driven operation: The diffusion dialysis membranes require no external power supply, relying solely on concentration difference to drive acid permeation, cutting overall system operation costs significantly.
2. High separation efficiency: The series delivers 80%-90% acid recovery rate for hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, with metal ion interception rate exceeding 95%, reducing neutralization waste salt output by a large margin.
3. Exclusive phosphoric acid recovery capability: The PD-type phosphoric acid recovery membrane is the only domestic product of its kind in China, filling the gap for specialized phosphoric acid waste recycling scenarios.
4. Scalable processing capacity: The matching DD equipment supports maximum single-machine processing capacity of 1500L/h for hydrochloric acid and 730L/h for sulfuric acid, suitable for both small and large industrial production lines.
The company holds high-tech enterprise, specialized and sophisticated SME qualifications, and has passed ISO9001 quality management and ISO45001 occupational health and safety system certifications. All membrane products are designed and manufactured in line with national industry standards, with core membrane materials and components covered by independent intellectual property rights and two granted invention patents. The products have already passed environmental acceptance for deployed projects across China, meeting zero-emission and resource recycling requirements for global industrial clients.
The new waste acid recovery membrane series is now available for global orders via the company’s official website, with mass production and global shipment starting from October 2026. The company operates three ion exchange membrane production lines with an annual capacity of 250,000 square meters, ensuring stable supply for bulk orders. For clients with specific process requirements, the company provides customized solutions including tailored membrane material selection, membrane stack configuration, process design, installation, commissioning and full-cycle technical support. The company also supports lab-scale and on-site pilot tests with real water samples to verify treatment performance before full-scale industrial deployment, reducing client investment risk.
“The launch of this high cost performance waste acid membrane series reflects our commitment to delivering reliable, cost-effective ion exchange solutions for global industrial clients,” said Mao Wanju, lead contact at Shanghai Smax New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. “We have over 10 years of frontline experience in ion exchange membrane engineering, and our products have already served more than 100 enterprise clients across energy, food, pharmaceutical and new material sectors.”
Global industrial waste acid recycling demand continues to grow as manufacturing sectors tighten environmental compliance requirements and seek cost reduction opportunities. Shanghai Smax New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has established production bases in Shanghai and Yantai, Shandong, with an office in Golmud, Qinghai, and has already completed overseas projects in Southeast Asian markets including Malaysia. The company’s business covers major industrial provinces across China, and it continues to expand its global service network to support international clients.
Moving forward, Shanghai Smax New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to invest in R&D of homogeneous ion exchange membrane technologies, optimizing product performance to meet global client demands. The company will also strengthen its global sales and service network, providing localized technical support for clients in Southeast Asia and other overseas markets.
Shanghai Smax New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2020, headquartered in Minhang District, Shanghai, as a Chinese industrial waste acid membrane supplier focused on high cost performance for global clients. The company focuses on the R&D, production and sales of homogeneous ion exchange membranes and matching electrodialysis, diffusion dialysis equipment. The company’s R&D team is led by academician Fei Weiyang, with deep collaboration with East China University of Science and Technology and the National Salt Lake Research Center. The company has an annual ion exchange membrane production capacity of 250,000 square meters, with over 200 sets of equipment in stable operation across 100+ industrial projects. Its core solutions cover salt lake lithium extraction, industrial wastewater resource recovery, waste acid recycling, salt separation and acid-base preparation via bipolar membrane electrodialysis. The company’s mission is to promote efficient salt lake resource utilization, industrial wastewater recycling and zero emission, supporting green, low-carbon industrial upgrading for global clients.
