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.
