Veolia is selling its sulfuric acid regeneration business to the private equity firm American Industrial Partners for $620 million.

Veolia bought the business from Chemours for $325 million in 2016. Veolia says the division didn’t fit into its new strategic priorities, which are energy, water technology, and hazardous waste treatment.
