METALLURGICAL
Treatment of wastewater containing heavy metals and corrosive substances.
In the metallurgical industry, the PRO-PUR Series are used to treat wastewater generated during metal production and processing. This water contains a variety of pollutants that must be removed before the water is discharged or reused. Here is a detailed analysis:
Substances Treated with PRO-PUR in the Metallurgical Industry
Heavy Metals:
Iron (Fe), Aluminium (Al), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd): Present in the waste water from the smelting, processing and surface treatment of metals.
Chemical Substances:
Acids and Alkalis: Used in pickling, cleaning and surface treatment processes.
Organic Solvents: From cleaning and degreasing processes.
Paint and Primer Residues: Containing pigments, resins and chemical additives.
Suspended Solids:
Metallic Particulates: Small metal particles suspended in water.
Metal Oxides and Hydroxides: Formed during neutralisation processes.
Other Contaminants:
Oils and Fats: From manufacturing and lubrication processes.
Sludges: From surface treatment and metalworking processes.
