One of the primary categories of chemicals used in wastewater treatment is coagulants. Coagulants are substances that help remove suspended solids from wastewater by neutralizing the charge on these particles, allowing them to aggregate and settle out more easily. Common coagulants include aluminum sulfate (alum), ferric chloride, and polyaluminum chloride. These chemicals facilitate the process known as coagulation-flocculation, where small particles combine to form larger aggregates, or flocs, that can be removed from the water.


The global API market is significantly dominated by a few key players. China stands out as the leading producer of APIs, contributing to around 40% of the world's total API supply. The country's robust chemical manufacturing infrastructure, combined with lower production costs, allows for economies of scale. Chinese manufacturers have heavily invested in production facilities, regulatory compliance, and quality control measures to meet international standards. This dominance is further aided by government policies promoting the pharmaceutical sector and encouraging exports.


On the other hand, PQQ is a relatively novel compound that functions as a redox cofactor in various biological reactions. Like ubiquinol, PQQ possesses powerful antioxidant properties, but it diverges significantly in its mechanisms of action and benefits. PQQ is recognized for its role in stimulating the growth of new mitochondria, a process known as mitochondrial biogenesis. This ability to enhance the number and efficiency of mitochondria can lead to improved energy metabolism and better overall cellular health.

What is PQQ?


In clinical studies, individuals supplementing with both PQQ and CoQ10 have reported improved energy levels, better recovery from exercise, and enhanced cognitive performance. The combination may be particularly beneficial for aging populations, who often experience a decline in mitochondrial function and increased oxidative stress.
