Only Highly BioActive Humisolve made by the Bioenergenic process can
attach so much heavy metal from wastes as to make it a profitable enterprise
in many situations. Humisolve is available in sizes from 100 gm. to 20
ton container size, This product is the key to low cost clean up of not
only metals but many toxic organic compounds and oil sludge and other petroleum
wastes. The best way to reduce or bind radioactive elements in the
soil to prevent there moving. into the food chain via the ground water
or plant up take.
Humic substances (Humisolve and their
derivatives) can be used for removing toxic
metals,i.e.their ions,from wastewater. The
highest effect was observed in the removal
of lead (Pb),mercury (Hg),and cadmium
(Cd),coppers(Cu),zinc(Zn),and nickel (Ni)
and chromium (Cr).
The structure of HA is similar to that of
industrial ion exchangers. HA can be used
with advantage particulary in the stage
subsequent to chemical treatment of
wastewater. The chemicals treatment compses
the precipitation of metals by means of
calcium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. An
addition of HA improves the process and the
concentrations of undesirable ion lower
than the permissible limit can be reached.
The consumption of HA is 0.1-0.5 kg per m*
of wastewater. It is also possible to use
HA for a removal of toxic metals from waste
that have been without any treatment so
far. The best results are being achieved in
waste water with a contect of toxic metals
ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/L.The consumption
of HA varies from 0.1 to 0.8 kg/m* of waste
water. The residual concentration of toxic
metals in waste water after such a
treatment is lower than 0.3 mg/L. Humic
substances are ecologically friendly and
their binding capacity for metals is well
comparable to that of industrial ion
exchangers.
