Specialized Arsenic & Heavy Metal Removal Capability for Peru Mining Applications
Mining operations in Peru, especially gold and copper mining areas, often face complex groundwater challenges including naturally occurring arsenic, heavy metals and other dissolved contaminants.
As part of Guanya’s customized containerized mining water treatment solutions, we integrate advanced adsorption technologies when required by raw water conditions to improve treatment efficiency and ensure stable water quality.
SY02-P Granular Ferric Hydroxide Adsorbent Technology
SY02-P is a high-performance granular ferric hydroxide adsorption media based on:
Fe(OH)₃ / β-FeOOH active components
It is designed for the selective adsorption and removal of inorganic arsenic and other contaminants from water.
The material provides a large specific surface area of approximately:
300 m²/g
which creates abundant active adsorption sites for contaminant removal.
Working Principle
Surface Adsorption Mechanism
Unlike traditional chemical precipitation processes, SY02-P removes contaminants through surface adsorption.
The hydroxyl groups on ferric hydroxide surfaces interact with dissolved contaminants, forming stable adsorption complexes.
This mechanism provides effective removal of:
✔ Arsenic As(III)
✔ Arsenic As(V)
✔ Phosphate
✔ Heavy metals including lead, copper, zinc and other contaminants
According to the product technical data, SY02-P can adsorb inorganic arsenic (+3/+5), phosphate ions and various heavy metal pollutants through adsorption mechanisms.

Technical Advantages of SY02-P Technology
High Adsorption Performance
Large surface area:
≈300 m²/g
Provides high-density active adsorption sites.
Effective Arsenic Removal
Designed for:
- Arsenic (III)
- Arsenic (V)
Reference adsorption capacity:
4–14 g/kg (As) depending on operating conditions.
Wide Operating Range
Recommended operating conditions:
| Parameter |
Reference Value |
| pH Range |
5–9 |
| Optimal pH |
6.0–7.2 |
| Operating Temperature |
5–40°C |
| Empty Bed Contact Time |
3–6 min |
| Filtration Velocity |
8–20 BV/h |
The technical data indicates that adsorption performance reaches optimal levels when water pH is approximately 6.0–7.2.
