Maifan Stone

What is Maifan Stone?

Maifan stone, also known as medical stone, is an igneous rock rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and silicon. It has strong adsorption and release properties of water-soluble minerals. In appearance, maifan stone usually appears as off-white, light yellow or a certain glossy rock, and its texture is relatively hard.

Types of Maifan Stone

Soft maifan stone and hard maifan stone generally refer to two different types of medical stone. Their main difference lies in the content of mineral components and physical hardness, which in turn affects their effectiveness in different applications.

Soft Maifan Stone

The soft maifan stone, as well known as golden soft maifan stone, generally refers to the type of maifan mineral stones that are rich in minerals, has a lower hardness and a softer texture. This type of medical stone usually contains more soluble minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc., which can easily release these elements in water and improve water quality more quickly.

Characteristic of soft maifan stone:

  • Rich in mineral composition: Soft maifan stone contains a high proportion of minerals, especially trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc. that are beneficial to water quality
  • Low hardness: Soft medical stone has a lower hardness and is therefore easier to break and dissolve.
  • High solubility: The minerals in soft medical stone are highly soluble in water and can improve water quality more quickly, especially in softening and mineralizing water.

Golden soft maifan stone for drinking water is usually used for mineralization and softening due to its high mineral solubility. It can effectively adjust the hardness of water and provide minerals that are beneficial to the human body. The medical stone is commonly found in household water treatment equipment as an important component of water filters, helping to improve water quality and increase the mineral elements in water.

Golden soft maifan stone is named for its rich minerals and special golden appearance. The formation of this color may be related to the content of iron, manganese and other elements in its minerals, especially the presence of iron makes its color brighter.

Hard Maifan Stone

Hard maifan stone refers to a type of maifan mineral stones that contain more hard minerals (such as quartz, feldspar, etc.) in its mineral composition, with higher hardness and harder texture. The mineral release rate of this type of maifan stone is slower, the mineral composition is relatively stable, and it is usually not easy to dissolve.

Characteristic of hard maifan stone:

  • Higher mineral hardness: The minerals in hard medical stone are higher in hardness and are not easy to break and dissolve.
  • Stable mineral composition: Compared with soft medical stone, hard medical stone releases minerals more slowly and is usually used in application scenarios that require a longer maintenance effect.
  • Lower solubility: The mineral components of hard medical stone dissolve more slowly in water, making it more suitable for long-term use, gradually releasing the minerals.

Due to its slower solubility, hard maifan stone is often used in water treatment systems that run for a long time, such as industrial water treatment, aquaculture water, etc. It can continuously improve water quality and reduce the need for frequent replacement of filter materials.

Hard maifan stone is commonly used in agriculture as a soil conditioner to help increase the mineral content of the soil and improve the soil’s structure and water retention capacity.

Water softening

Maifan stone has a strong ability to remove hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium in water. For water sources with high hardness in household or industrial water, it can effectively reduce water hardness and reduce the formation of scale.

Water mineralization

The minerals dissolved in water by maifan stone can effectively mineralize water quality and provide essential mineral elements for drinking water. By adding maifan stone for drinking water, the content of calcium, magnesium, zinc and other elements in water can be increased, and the taste and nutritional value of water can be improved. It is especially suitable for the treatment of drinking water and is widely used in household water treatment systems, such as water purifiers, water filters and other equipment.

Removal of harmful substances

The porous structure of maifan stone water filter provides a large surface area for the adsorption of harmful substances in water, and can effectively adsorb pollutants such as heavy metals, ammonia nitrogen, chlorides, and organic matter in water.

Ammonia nitrogen in water can be removed through ion exchange and adsorption, which is particularly important for improving water quality in aquaculture and aquaculture.

The surface of maifan stone for water purification is rich in minerals that can adsorb heavy metal ions, so it can effectively remove harmful heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and copper in water. You can contact Heycarbons to get free sample and professional service.

 The magical effect of maifan stone on livestock such as pigs, cattle, and chickens:

Maifan stone has a great effect on the growth of livestock and can make poultry stronger. For example: chickens can drink medical stone activated water and add medical stone to chicken feed. It can also improve the quality of meat and eggs, enhance disease resistance, and reduce odor in the livestock pen.

Adding medical stone to dairy cow feed can maintain its gastrointestinal health, increase milk production, improve milk quality, prevent feeding disorders, reduce the odor of excrement, etc. All these effects exist because medical stone can release trace elements (minerals) that cattle lack and can cause various diseases.

Natural ore maifan stone for garden soil improvement

Application of maifan stone in soil improvement: Medical stone can stabilize, improve and balance the physical functions of the soil, so it has more advantages than other soil conditioners. Because of this, the role of medical stone in outdoor cabbage cultivation has received widespread attention. The use of medical stone can reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and soil conditioners, and can improve soil quality and protect the environment economically and effectively. People also ask what benefits of the maifan stone are? The answer is below.

Maifan stone benefits: Reduce the use of chemical fertilizers to ensure land growth; accelerate the growth of crops, flowers and fruits, improve the quality of crops and increase yields; reduce and absorb residual pesticides to ensure that crops can be grown and eaten safely; is an effective soil conditioner that activates minerals.
