The Sentricon System’s Post

OEWG3 discussing the importance of capacity building as a key component of the new science policy panel on chemical and waste.

Dr. Beth Parker from University of Guelph - School of Engineering is advocating for stricter regulations on per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). As awareness of chemical pollution stemming from PFAS use increases, so have the legal settlements from exposure cases. Dr. Parker, in collaboration with experts from Lund University and Copenhagen Business School, highlight in the Conversation Canada the need for a global ban on PFAs, replacing them with more sustainable chemicals and rigorous testing to understand the long-term effects of chemical use.   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e9jaPdhK

Check out the interview with Philip Jessop on the need for hotspot-driven research!

New paper published by the American Chemical Society: Toxicological Study of Human Exposure to Mixtures of Chemicals: Challenges and Approaches https://lnkd.in/g8pVMWKB "There is a lack of guidance on how to design toxicological studies of chemical mixtures. This paper aims to evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of chemical mixture studies and to propose the practical design of mixture effect studies including chemical selection, dosing considerations, and determination of toxicological mechanisms of mixtures." This seems pertinent to produced water as a mixture of constituents. Perhaps a similar approach as is discussed in this paper should be evaluated by the regulatory bodies in New Mexico and Texas as we get closer to the guidelines for beneficial reuse.

Ever wondered how the industrially applied Biphephos ligand deactivates in hydroformylation processes? Check out our recent publication in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering on the deactivation and distillation recycling of Rh/Biphephos complexes. Thanks to a team effort of Fabian Patzina, Andreas J. Vorholt and Walter Leitner, we showed that hydrolysis is often less of a problem as many would think. Rather, the oxidation through hydroperoxides is the main deactivation pathway. In addition, always keep an eye on the stability of your ligand during storage. ;) https://lnkd.in/eyAA_WNq

At Revive Environmental, our PFAS Annihilator® technology is leading the way in verified #PFASdestruction. We’re proud to collaborate with Battelle, whose recent peer-reviewed publication in ACS Environmental Science and Technology Water further validates the efficacy of the #SCWO technology at the heart of our solution. This research underscores the power of science and innovation in tackling "forever chemicals" and advancing a cleaner, safer future. Read more in Battelle’s blog below. #MakingPFASHistory

🌊 In the spirit of World Ocean Day, we are committed to contributing to cleaner (ocean) water by removing microcontaminants through electrochemistry. Sara Feijoo Moreira shares insights from her PhD research at the Department of Chemical Engineering - Campus De Nayer, under the guidance of Prof. Raf Dewil. Treating wastewater: how to remove microcontaminants? Have you ever seen wastewater from a factory? This usually looks very clean, thanks to wastewater treatment. Yet it may still contain many traces of drugs, pesticides, or cleaning agents. These so-called microcontaminants end up in rivers and cause damage to the environment. In the lab, Sara Feijoo Moreira and her colleagues developed a method that uses electrochemistry to remove these micropollutants from wastewater. #WorldOceanDay #CleanOceans #Electrochemistry #SustainableFuture    https://lnkd.in/e85ccHWX..

Beyond Benign and the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) teamed up to create a case study that dives into the use of PFAS in the metal plating industry. This resource showcases how a greener alternative to PFAS-based fume suppressants was successfully implemented, offering a real-world example of sustainable chemistry in action. In this Q&A, hear directly from the team members behind the project, who discuss the collaboration, green chemistry education, and the importance of bridging classroom learning with real-world challenges: https://lnkd.in/gNU9hGiz 🧪 Read the article for insights from:  • Jihyun Kim | Guttman Community College CUNY  • Hun Bok Jung | Kingsborough Community College • Sarah Briggs | NYSP2I #GreenChemistry #Sustainability #PFAS #GreenChemistryEducation
