Polymer Metal-Chelation Precipitant DTCR
Polymer Metal-Chelation Precipitant DTCR (DTCR) is an effective and robust approach to capture and remove metal ions from aqueous solution streams prior to treatment or final discharge. By forming nano-sized chelates, DTCR offers superior removal of trace metals, heavy metals, and other metallic components in aqueous solutions. In addition, DTCR offers superior chemical resistance, eliminating or reducing the need for pre-treatment or post-treatment of solution streams under extreme chemical conditions.
DTCR offers superior adsorption capabilities for a variety of ions, including aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc. It also adsorbs organic and inorganic compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The adsorbed components are then precipitated from solution by physical, chemical, or electrolytic processes.
The DTCR process works by first forming chelates, which are polymeric complexes composed of a metal ion and an oppositely charged polymer molecule. These chelates are highly selective for the target metal, and once formed, they are highly resistant to break down and dissolve in aqueous solutions. As the temperature and pH of the solution stream increase, the adsorption rate of the chelate increases. This allows DTCR to remove more of the targeted metals, as higher temperatures and higher pH levels lead to increased binding of the chelates to the target metal ions.
The DTCR approach also offers low cost and greater stability over traditional treatment processes such as ion exchange or reverse osmosis as these processes require additional equipment and maintenance. Additionally, the DTCR process produces superior water quality as compared to traditional treatment processes, ensuring effective removal of targeted metal ions while offering fewer post-treatment steps.
DTCR is also an environmentally friendly approach to metal removal, as it doesnt require the formation or use of chemical products. This minimizes the risk of chemical contamination and reduces the potential for additional impacts to the environment, both during and after the treatment process.
Overall, DTCR offers a simple, efficient, and cost-effective approach to metal ions capture, offering superior quality and greater longevity than traditional treatment processes. This makes it an ideal approach for a variety of water treatment applications, such as metal recovery, metal control, and water purification. Additionally, the environmentally friendly nature of the process means it can be used without fear of environmental harm. All of this makes DTCR a versatile and cost-effective metal removal solution for a range of industries.
