Lanthanide Salt Chemistry Information from the blog of Neo Performance Materials, a Wastewater Treatment Plant Chemicals Company.
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...
Neo WaterFX300 Protects Sensitive River while Aiding Expansion at Coppermine WRF
Growth can often be a double-edged sword for a water reclamation facility (WRF). With an expansion looming to double the capacity of their membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility, the Coppermine WRF was exploring ways to improve their phosphorus removal from wastewater....
Toxicity Of Lanthanides In Wastewater
The toxicity of chemical additives to wastewater should be tested to determine the effect of the additives on the ecosystem. Ideally the additive will do what it is designed to do, only be discharged in a minimal amount, and not have any adverse effects on the...
