Metal scavengers are different types of functional chemicals based on aluminium, carbon and silicon bases. Designed to react and bind excess metal complexes, among them aluminium-based metal scavengers that remove oxygen from hydrocarbon streams (e.g. ethylene). Carbon-based metal scavengers, on the other hand, are carbon-based powders suitable for the removal of dissolved metal species from organic reaction mixtures. Silica-based metal scavengers refer to functionalised silica designed for the extraction of metal contaminants from organic and aqueous systems. Suitable for batch and continuous processing applications. Ideal for R&D applications as they have extremely fast removal capabilities and are easily separated by filtration.
