SULPHIDIC HEAVY METAL PRECIPITANTS

Organosulphides for the precipitation of dissolved and complexed heavy metals: PETROSORB©

Our sulphidic heavy metal precipitants not only precipitate individual dissolved heavy metals such as chromium, mercury or nickel, but are also able to reliably bind heavy metals bound in complexes in wastewater.

Our organosulphides are the tried and tested means of choice for achieving particularly high purification performance (especially for precipitating mercury in the course of flue gas purification) and / or for wastewater with EDTA-stable complexes and score with convincing advantages:

Ready-to-use products
 Effective in a wide pH range
 No release of toxic gases
 Effective against a wide range of metals
 Direct precipitation of complexed or chelated metals
 Stronger performance than hydroxidic heavy metal precipitators
 Continuous product availability

Our application experts will be happy to advise you.

Fields of application of PETROSORB©

Precipitation of heavy metals from industrial waste and process water, e.g. in:

Flue gas cleaning (e.g. of incineration plants)
 Glass and ceramics industry
 Paint and varnish industry
 Tanneries
 Metallurgy
 Metal processing
 Electroplating
etc.
