Conventional methods such as coagulation, electrochemical treatment, ion exchange, and membrane separation are costly, unstable, and complex. Most cannot reliably reduce nickel to below 0.1 mg/L, the new limit in China’s discharge standards.
MOTIVA’s Advanced Nickel Removal Solution
MOTIVA utilizes its patented SAO3-IV ozone catalyst in a hybrid process that combines catalytic oxidation and coagulation. This approach significantly improves nickel removal, reducing concentrations from 0.3–0.8 mg/L to 0.03–0.08 mg/L, meeting GB21900-2008 standards in a single step.
High-Efficiency Chelated Nickel Breaker
Our SAO3 catalyst rapidly breaks the bonds of nickel chelates, converting them into free Ni²⁺ ions, which are then removed via precipitation. The breaking efficiency exceeds 99%, with effluent nickel consistently below 0.1 mg/L—ensuring stable, long-term compliance.
