BAYOXIDE® E 216

Bayoxide® E 216 is a technical iron oxide adsorber in granular form. The product is based on a defined crystalline α-Ferric oxide hydroxide structure and has been developed specifically for the removal of arsenic and other ions from potable water. Due to its small particle size Bayoxide® E 216 is not usable for simple passive continuous pump-and-treat system. For all technical applications it must be considered that the pressure drop due to the small particle size will be very high compared to standard E 33.Therefore E 216 is suitable especially for a combination with active carbon, or other filtering granulates, where Bayoxide® E 216 and other granulates are pressed in massive porous blocks. Additionally Bayoxide E 216 is perfectly applicable for batch applications, in which the pressure drop is irrelevant.
Bayoxide® E 216 is suitable for the use in following applications:

• Arsenic removal from potable water in which both, arsenate As(V) as well as arsenite As(III) are safely adsorbed below 5 μg/L
• Phosphate removal
• Antimony, vanadium, and selenium removal from potable water
• Heavy metal removal from potable water, e.g., copper, lead, nickel, and zinc
