Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about cyanide effluent treatment solutions

How does ozone destroy cyanide compared to chlorination?

Ozone completely oxidises cyanide to harmless carbon dioxide and nitrogen without forming toxic chlorinated byproducts like cyanogen chloride. It's faster, more complete, and environmentally safer than chlorination.

What cyanide concentrations can ozone treat effectively?

Our ozone systems can treat cyanide concentrations from 10 ppm to over 1000 ppm, achieving final levels below 0.1 ppm to meet the most stringent discharge standards.

How quickly does ozone destroy cyanide?

Ozone reaction with cyanide is very rapid, typically achieving >95% destruction within 10-30 minutes depending on concentration and pH conditions.

What pH conditions are optimal for cyanide ozonation?

Ozone treatment is most effective at pH 10-11 for free cyanide destruction. Our systems include pH control to maintain optimal conditions throughout the treatment process.

Can ozone handle metal-cyanide complexes?

Yes, ozone can break down both free cyanide and metal-cyanide complexes (WAD cyanide), though complex cyanides may require higher ozone doses and longer contact times.

What monitoring is required for cyanide treatment systems?

We provide continuous monitoring of ozone residual, pH, ORP, and cyanide levels with automated dosing control and alarm systems for safe, reliable operation.

What are the operating costs compared to traditional methods?

While ozone has higher energy costs, it eliminates chemical costs, reduces sludge disposal, and provides superior treatment reliability, often resulting in lower total operating costs.

How do you ensure worker safety during cyanide treatment?

Our systems include comprehensive safety features including emergency ozone destruction, leak detection, ventilation controls, and emergency shutdown systems to protect operators.
