Baymag magnesium oxide has various applications in waste and wastewater treatment. It is an effective base, offering a safe method of pH modification in comparison to other neutralizing agents such as lime or caustic soda. It can be utilized as a magnesium oxide powder or granule, or converted to a magnesium hydroxide slurry for additional uses in waste water treatment.
Magnesium Oxide: |
|
| Water Treatment | Adsorption and precipitation of silica and heavy metals as an integral part of industrial water treatment systems. Helps prevent scale formation in boilers, heat exchangers, and piping. |
| Soil Remediation | An excellent pH modifier and heavy metal scavenger in contaminated soils. Effectively precipitates heavy metals, thus preventing subsequent leaching from treated soils. |
Magnesium Hydroxide: |
|
| Waste Water Neutralization | Offers a safe and effective replacement to caustic soda and lime for the neutralization of acidic waste streams. Offers excellent buffering capacity to a maximum pH of 9 and prevents high pH spikes, which can adversely affect biological treatment systems. |
| Solids Settling | Offers an added benefit of increased solids settling and reduction of sludge volumes due to coagulation effect. |
| Heavy Metals Removal | Effective removal of heavy metals from industrial waste streams through precipitation as metal hydroxides. Results in reduced sludge volumes and buffered pH values. |
| Flue Gas Desulphurization | Wet flue gas scrubbing for sulfur dioxide removal. |
