Sorbalite per lo Smaltimento degli scarti nell'Industria Chimico-Farmaceutica

In the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, the disposal of waste such as pharmaceutical blister packs poses a significant challenge, both due to the complex composition of these materials and their potential environmental impact. Blisters are primarily made of layers of plastic and aluminum, which are essential for ensuring the protection and preservation of pharmaceuticals, but which make their recycling and treatment difficult. Furthermore, during the incineration or waste-to-energy processes commonly used for disposal, pollutants such as SOx, HCl, HF, and heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg) are released into the atmosphere. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt efficient fume purification systems that comply with environmental standards.

An innovative and effective solution to address this challenge is the use of Sorbalite, an additive composed of hydrated lime integrated with activated carbon, which represents a cutting-edge technology for the purification of fumes emitted during the treatment of waste from the pharmaceutical industry.

Solution with Sorbalite

Sorbalite represents a unique approach to flue gas filtration, thanks to its dual properties of chemical neutralization and physical adsorption. The hydrated lime contained in Sorbalite neutralizes acids such as SOx, HCl, and HF, while the activated carbon adsorbs more difficult-to-remove substances, such as heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This product eliminates the need for separate additives, simplifying the operational process and improving overall sustainability.
