CHALLENGE PRECIPITATION OF HEAVY METALS IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS- AND WASTEWATER

We remove heavy metals from process- and wastewater

Heavy metals are found in all types of industrial wastewater, flue gases, soils etc. Their acute toxicity at very low doses and their tendency to accumulate in living organisms explain the growing need for increasingly lower limits and stricter legal regulations.

With our wide range of different heavy metal precipitants, we cover the entire field of treatment of complexed and non-complexed heavy metals in various applications.

Our application experts will be happy to advise you on the most efficient product for your challenge.

Causes of heavy metal problematic in process and waste water

  • Due to solubility, process water is contaminated with different heavy metals.
  • Especially with complexed heavy metals, simple hyroxide precipitation no longer works.
  • Several heavy metals in the same process or wastewater can make it difficult to precipitate below the required limit value.
