EHC® Metals Reagent is a remediation product for immobilization of metals combining controlled-release carbon, micro-scale zero-valent iron & a slow-release of sulfate. Following placement of EHC Metals Reagent into the saturated zone, a number of chemical and microbiological processes combine to create strongly reducing conditions under which a number of heavy metals are sequestered via reductive precipitation as scarcely soluble metal-sulfides and via adsorption onto secondary ZVI corrosion products. A wide range of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) are also degraded in these reduced environments, allowing for treatment of mixed plume impacts.

Remediation reagent designed for in situ immobilization of soluble metals, combining controlled-release carbon, micro-scale zero valent iron (ZVI), and a sulfide source. Treatment of dissolved metals in an EHC Metals zone involves sequestration as solid metal species by means of reductive precipitation and adsorption onto the iron oxidation products.
