PeroxyChem EHC - Metals Reagent
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.
- Immobilization of metals
- Limits movement of metals in groundwater
- Mixed plume treatment
- Non-hazardous and safe to handle
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.
