Acidic Waste Effluent Treatment Can Be Safer
and More Economical with Hi-Chem Mag-50

Simple. Safe. Effective Hi-Chem Mag-50 vs. Lime & Soda Ash Hi-Chem Mag-50 vs. Caustic Soda Hi-Chem Mag-50 Home Page

 



 

As an alternative to caustic soda, lime, or soda ash, Hi-Chem Mag-50. A magnesium hydroxide slurry, is the simplest, safest and most cost effective waste acid neutralizer you can use.

The ability of Magnesium Hydroxide to effectively treat acidic waste effluent has been recognized by chemical engineers for years. In recent years it has become even more widely used as the cost of traditional methods has risen and safety and environmental concerns have increased. Is it the right product for your application?

We have outlined the various alternatives inside this brochure. On the following pages you will see how Hi-Chem Mag-50 compares against the traditional treatment technologies.

Evaluate for yourself how Hi-Chem Mag-50 compares with what you are presently using. Then, let us run some jar tests with you using your actual effluent. The results will prove what you've always suspected, there is a better way to treat waste water.

When acidic waste effluent contains metals, treatment with Hi-Chem Mag-50 produces reduced volumes of metal hydroxide precipitate compared with caustic soda, lime, or soda ash. The small amount of solids produced by Hi-Chem Mag-50 treatment can be settled and dewatered quickly, unlike the gel-like sludge which results from the use of other alkalis. This means a substantial reduction in the costs of filtering and solids disposal.

In addition, consider the following benefits of using Hi-Chem Mag-50:

  • It can be used in complete safety to your personnel and to the environment
  • It can help lower the TDS (total dissolved solids) in the discharge stream.
  • It is easy and inexpensive to handle.
  • It eliminates the danger of excessive pH spikes resulting from over dosage of neutralizer.
  • Price and availability are stable; Hi-Chem Mag-50 is not a byproduct.
  • It has more neutralizing capability pound for pound than the other available alkalis.
