Project Description:

"Magnesium hydroxide slurry, Mg(OH)2, which is recognized as "the milk of magnesia" for wastewater treatment, has been widely utilized for heavy metal precipitation and acid neutralization of industrial wastewater. Many industrial and municipal wastewater facilities are now converting over to magnesium hydroxide for utilization in aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment systems"  (Gibson and Maniocha, 2004).
