10+ hour, 45+ min ago   (349+ words) Two further desirable properties are added to this long list of requirements. On the one hand, due to regulations governing food contact materials, no harmful substances may be transferred from the pan to the food. On the other hand, users…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (747+ words) Having made over 20,000 individual tests, extensive lab validation of Nanize coatings has been undertaken, including by FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), to verify polymer crosslinking, hard curing, durability and performance. Nanize ultra-rapidly cured polysilazane coatings are proven to create hard, durable,…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (520+ words) Researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have identified cancer-linked "forever chemicals" on every piece of protective equipment they examined, including breathing equipment designed to deliver clean air. The findings are raising urgent questions about long-term PFAS…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (530+ words) Explore how the APOLO project targets the full decarbonisation of the maritime sector utilising membrane technology for ammonia cracking. APOLO project: Revolutionising maritime decarbonisation through ammonia cracking APOLO project, co-ordinated by Tecnalia with technical lead H2SITE, targets the full decarbonisation of…...

3+ mon, 5+ day ago   (369+ words) Now, a new study reveals that these vital ecosystems may also hold the key to combating one of today's most persistent environmental challenges " the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called "forever chemicals.' PFAS are synthetic compounds used…...

4+ mon, 3+ day ago   (188+ words) What if walls could defend themselves? New materials and coatings are beginning to make that possible: The result: every coated surface becomes an active antimicrobial barrier, continuously breaking down bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mould spores. It is, in effect, the…...

4+ mon, 2+ week ago   (370+ words) These compounds rank among the strongest Lewis acids known to date and can attack highly stable chemical bonds such as the carbon'fluorine linkages in PFAS. The new compounds are not consumed during the reaction, and instead, can regenerate. Therefore, they…...

4+ mon, 2+ week ago   (615+ words) These single-use plastics dominate nearly two-thirds of global plastic consumption. This means industrial users could apply the catalyst to large volumes of unsorted polyolefin waste. When the catalyst breaks down polyolefins, the low-value solid plastics are transformed into liquid oils…...

4+ mon, 3+ week ago   (563+ words) The company's flagship technology, Core+, utilises the industry-standard media granular activated carbon (GAC) and adds a functionalised coating to effectively remove PFAS from water. To learn more about the technology, The Innovation Platform spoke to Dennis M. Flood, President and CEO…...

4+ mon, 3+ week ago   (260+ words) Traditional treatment methods such as activated carbon, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis remove PFAS from water but fail to destroy them. Instead, they generate concentrated PFAS waste streams that require hazardous disposal. Destructive options like incineration are costly, inefficient, and…...
