Sorbster-Se

Absorbent Media optimized for Selenium Removal

Description

Sorbster-Se is a highly functionalized, enriched alumina media that covalently bonds soluble selenium and other trace contaminatns to its active sites.

Feature and Benefits

  • Sorbster-Se is used in the treatment of selenite, selenate and selenocyanate.
  • Sorbster-Se can lower selenium concentrations to less than 1 ppb.
  • Sorbster-Se produces no ancillary water streams that require additional treatment, handling or disposal.
  • Used Sorbster-Se media passes the EPA TCLP test and allows for non-hazardous disposal options. 
  • Sorbster-Se requires fewer changeouts than competing media.
  • Sorbster-Hg's active and diverse chemistry allows it to selectively capture and chemisorb selenium.
  • Sorbster-Se does not support bacterial growth.
  • Sorbster-Se is deployed in industry-standard filtration vessels for cost effective and rapid installation.

The hazardous metal selenium occurs at significant concentrations in fossil fuels, plant life, sulfur deposits and the sulfide minerals of copper and molybdenum. Selenium contaminates industrial wastewater streams, especially those associated with copper refining, coal mine drainage, coal burning power generation and petroleum refining.

Stringent regulations limit the discharge of selenium into public waterways. Sorbster-Se, an alumina-based adsorption granule, is uniquely capable of removing selenium in water streams because of the attraction of selenium to sulfur sites within the media.

We have provided several case studies to that effect:
