Information on Lanthanide Salt Chemistry from the blog of Neo Performance Materials, a Wastewater Treatment Plant Chemicals Company. Here we discuss the use of Lanthanide Salt for the removal of phosphorus within the wastewater treatment industry.
Vivianite Versus Rhabdophane
Phosphate Crystal Precipitation and Pipe Clogging WaterFX won’t clog your pipes or pumps. Removing phosphorus from wastewater using conventional iron (or aluminum) based coagulants creates crystals that often redissolve and can then reprecipitate along pipe walls and...Success Story in Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment in Georgia
Phosphorus removal is critical for pharmaceutical pretreatment compliance Often, when the topic of phosphorus removal from wastewater comes up, we think of municipal systems that are struggling to meet a stringent NPDES Total Phosphorus (TP) limit of under 1 part per...
Operational adjustments when switching to WaterFX
Operational changes from switching to Neo WaterFX for phosphorus removal from wastewater. Making the switch from “traditional” coagulants (iron or aluminum salts) to Neo WaterFX WILL require a few operational adjustments due to improved and simplified operations....
Lanthanum Precipitation for Phosphate Removal in Wastewater: Innovative but not new
While it may seem that removal of phosphorus from wastewater using lanthanide salts is innovative technology, in truth it is NOT new. Before there was an EPA, the removal of phosphates using lanthanum, La(III), was studied and compared to removal using aluminum,...
Denser Drier Sludge
Phosphorus Removal and Sludge Management Removing phosphorus from wastewater usually involves use of a coagulant, especially if you have a low Total Phosphorus (TP) limit. Traditional coagulants, carried over from the water treatment side of the industry, are based on...
