SiliaMetS® Metal Scavenger Selection Table
The following selection table, shown below, helps customers in selecting the most efficient scavenger for a specific metal and application. However, since some parameters may affect the efficiency of the scavenging, we highly recommend performing a preliminary screening experiment using the SiliaMetS Metal Scavenger kit.
SiliCycle also offer a confidential Metal Scavengers Screening Service. Contact us to take advantage of our expertise in metal removal.

SiliaMetS® Dimercaptotriazine (DMT)
SiliaMetS® DMT (Si-DMT) is the silica bound equivalent of 2,4,6-trimercaptotriazine (trithiocyanuric acid). It is a versatile metal scavenger for a variety of metals including Cd, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ru under a wide range of conditions and the preferred metal scavenger for ruthenium catalysts.
TMT has been reported to efficiently remove palladium and heavy metals by precipitation. Unfortunately, its solubility in organic solvents causes problem. SiliaMetS DMT solves this issue and almost all solvents can now be used.
