Mecaptazine
Mercaptazine is an aqueous solution of Trimercapto-s-triazine trisodium salt. It is a chelating compound and will form stable complex precipitates with monovalent and bivalent metal ions. The main application for Mercaptazine is in the removal of heavy metals such as copper, nickel, zinc, lead etc from wastewater. It can be used in conjunction with coagulants and flocculants, such as Floculan™ and the Lanfloc range. Typical industries in which Mercaptazine can be used include: electroplaters, automotive, printing and dying, aggregates, sludge and waste incineration, chemical and power stations.
Key Features
- Low acute toxicity to land and marine creatures
- Forms stable compounds with heavy metals
- Easy to dose
- Complimentary to traditional coagulation and flocculation
- Non hazardous making handling and transport straightforward
