Medox

The OPTIMIZED CEMENTATION  applied to the purification of the effluents of fume scrubbers and ashes of waste incineration plants.

Domestic waste incineration generates collateral wastes, especially under the form of ashes (collected through elctro-filters) and fumes (washed through scrubbing towers). Contained metals are most commonly: zinc, copper, lead and cadminum.
The Medox technology is capable of:

the purification of the effluents of fume scrubbers and ashes of waste incineration plants.
  • Leaching ashes using the waters resulting of the scrubbing towers
  • Cementing cadmium, copper and lead for a full extraction of those contaminants
  • Valorise the contained zinc
the purification of the effluents of fume scrubbers and ashes of waste incineration plants.

The initial step of this Program has been co-financed by the Swiss National Agency for Environment.
