Graus Chemicals specializes in supplying REMOTOX to the environmental industry for the remediation of heavy metals and other contaminants of regulatory concern.
REMOTOX is a liquid, inorganic Calcium Polysulfide Solution consisting of multiple sulfur compounds, such as sulfide, sulfite, polysulfide, thiosulfate, and dithionate, which exhibit strong bonding capabilities with metals. The solution is deep red in color and may have a slight rotten egg odor. Typical concentration of the solution is 29% by weight.
REMOTOX is used in several key application areas, including:
- Soil and groundwater remediation
- Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment
- Power plant waste and scrubber wastewater treatment
- Mining remediation and reclamation
REMOTOX is commonly used to address a wide range of heavy metals, inorganic compounds and chlorinated solvents.
REMOTOX offers several advantages, including:
- High reactivity with heavy metals
- Ability to form less soluble metal sulfides over a wide pH range
- Effective treatment of chelated or complexed metals
- It is non-toxic and water soluble
- Cost-effective, practical and fairly safe to handle
REMOTOX is a liquid solution.
The typical weight of REMOTOX is 10.6 pounds per gallon (1.27 gm/cc).
REMOTOX solutions exposed to temperatures below 32 °F for extended times may begin to crystallize.
Yes, REMOTOX is available to ship in varous container types, including:
- Pails
- Drums
- IBC totes
- Bulk Tank Truck
This flexibility allows the product to support both small-scale and large-scale remediation or treatment projects.
REMOTOX should be stored in compatible materials, such as stainless steel, figerglass, HDPE, polypropylene, ABS, PVC and Teflon. Because the product is corrosive due to its caustic nature (pH ~11.5), users should wear apropriate PPE, avoid skin and eye exposure, use it outdoors or in well ventilated areas, and avoid mixing it with acids, combustibles or oxidizers.
When tightly sealed and stored at moderate temperature and out of direct sunlight, REMOTOX has been tested to maintain its effectiveness for a minimum of one year.
REMOTOX is produced in the Western United States with regionally sourced raw materials.
