Water purification

Rare earths for water purification

Rare earth alloys are very efficient in water purification.

Rare earth alloys, in particular lanthanum metal, have a high affinity to phosphate, arsenic and other contaminants. Therefore, they are perfect for water purification - alone or in combination with iron/aluminum alloys and/or organic coagulants.

Fields of application:

Removal of phosphate from swimming pools and standing waters (ponds, lakes) by means of

(a) phosphate precipitation using liquid or solid lanthanum formulations or
(b) adsorption to insoluble lanthanum granules
Removal of arsenic from drinking water by adsorption to insoluble lanthanum granules

(a) Treibacher Industrie AG expands its product portfolio for water treatment with the acquisition of the NXT-business from EP Minerals. The NXT product series are high performance adsorbents, specially designed for arsenic removal in various water streams.
