YMC-700 is a reagent used for the precipitation of heavy metal ions during the treatment of effluents.
It is even effective with solutions containing the metal ions in the form of complexes (such as NTA, EDTA).
The precipitation can take place at a range of pH values, from mild acidic to strongly alkaline.
In order to obtain optimum precipitation results, the pH value should, however, ve adjusted for the metal that is to be pricipitated.
Generally speaking, higher pH values are preferable, since a decomposition of YMC-700 is then made impossible. |
