Heavy-metal treatment chemistry
Metal Precipitants
Ecologix precipitants are expressly formulated to precipitate metal ions from a variety of industrial process wastewaters. Such wastewaters frequently contain chelants and other complexing agents that surround the metal ions and prevent the chemical reaction that converts the ions into insoluble particles. Our precipitants chemically "break" such chelating/complexing rings allowing metals to be precipitated out of solution. We offer PTB-6, PTB-25, PTB-50, PSB-9, PDB-2, PDB-23, PDB-28

Targeted metal removal for industrial wastewater
Ecologix metal precipitants are formulated to remove heavy metals from industrial process wastewater, including streams containing chelants and other complexing agents.
Metal precipitating chemicals and blends
Thiocarbonate based precipitants
| Chemical | Description | MSDS |
|---|---|---|
| PTB-6 | Blend with inorganic compounds and multiple coagulants for mixed metals applications. | MSDS |
| PTB-25 | Non-toxic heavy-metal precipitant designed to replace traditional DTC chemistry. It binds and precipitates precious and industrial metals, including gold, silver, palladium, platinum, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, and mercury. | MSDS |
| PTB-50 | Proprietary thiocarbonate formulation for heavy metals in industrial process wastewater, including chelated and complexed environments. Tests show twice the precipitating activity of common toxic DTC products at similar dosages. | MSDS |
Sulfide based precipitants
| Chemical | Description | MSDS |
|---|---|---|
| PSB-9 | Liquid thiocarbonate/sulfide blend for reducing hexavalent chromium and removing heavy metals in one step. It produces less sludge, is self-coagulating, and replaces sodium metabisulfite, hydrosulfite, and bisulfite. | MSDS |
Carbamate based precipitants
| Chemical | Description | MSDS |
|---|---|---|
| PDB-2 | Organic liquid precipitant for heavy metals, particularly chelated and complexed ions. The reaction forms insoluble organometallic compounds with minimal sludge generation and contains no disulfides. | MSDS |
| PDB-23 | Blend with inorganic coagulant. | MSDS |
| PDB-28 | Blend with inorganic coagulant. | — |
