Our patented MCD® technology features a proven high-efficiency ball milling system, expertly engineered treat toxic wastes and transform raw materials into value products. At EDL®, we are committed to developing practical solutions that address global environmental challenges
MCD® provides an effective alternative to conventional destruction and remediation treatment processes by exploiting mechanochemical reactions. We utilise high energy ball milling to destroy persistent organic contaminants, transform asbestos into non-asbestiform solids, and efficiently pulverise raw materials into powders for industrial use. Advantages of the MCD® process include:

Advantages of the MCD® process include:
Mechanochemistry, recognised as a green chemical technique, explores the physical and chemical transformation of substances that have been mechanically stressed or have undergone mechanical fractures.
MCD® systems harness the immense mechanical energy of high-velocity ball bearings within specialised reactors to drive targeted reactions forward. During collisions, particles are exposed to intense conditions, resulting in particle fracture and molecular destruction, enabling the safe and efficient breakdown of hazardous materials and the pulverisation of hard mineral substances into fine powders.
Globally, our team of scientists and engineers pioneer both fundamental mechanochemical science and technology scale-up, enabling real-world impact.
The MCD® process has been successfully proven to destroy toxic organic pollutants and asbestos-containing materials, leveraging our core technology without the need for hazardous oxidizing agents, extreme temperatures, harmful additives, or high pressures.
EDL® has led the development targeting the transformation of raw materials, and even wastes, into high value products. Our high efficiency ball mills can convert hard materials like mussel shells, natural pozzolans, quartz sand, and more into fine and ultrafine powders.
