PFAs, commonly known as "forever chemicals," have posed significant health and environmental risks for some time. Today, the EPA introduced new drinking water standards for PFAs and addressed their presence in landfills and leachate. But did you know Raven SR has a groundbreaking solution for PFAs? Our patented Steam/CO2 Reforming technology offers a game-changing approach that eliminates PFAs when converting waste into renewable fuels. Through our non-combustion process, we employ high heat levels that effectively eradicate PFAs, ensuring they're gone for good. What's more, Raven's innovative process can simultaneously convert multiple waste streams without the need for separation. Whether it's carpeting, plastics, clothing, or other items containing PFAs, we can utilize them as feedstock to produce renewable fuels. Together, we can make PFAs forever gone. Fueling A Cleaner Future. Read more in Waste Dive's article: https://lnkd.in/gSH-fBSb #EnvironmentalInnovation #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #EPA #PFAs.

** Update to key LCA datasets means #polyester 's CO2 impact is 26% higher than previously thought ** - The carbon footprint of crude oil-derived synthetic fibres such as polyester is likely far higher than previously assumed by tools such as the Higg Index after updates to datasets which underpin many European LCAs. The Swiss ecoinvent database will now include unintended methane emissions during the extraction and processing of oil and natural gas - among other updates. The GaBi tool - used by the Higg Index for its contentious MSI tool - is also making changes to its datasets to better reflect the CO2 impacts of oil-derived products. As a result of the updates to ecoinvent, the average carbon footprint of crude oil and natural gas and derived products has increased significantly. For Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester, the increase is 26 per cent. There are long-standing arguments in the fashion industry that natural fibres are penalised vis-a-vis their synthetic counterparts. This is because efforts to measure the environment impacts of the former have taken into account full supply chain impacts while for the latter, CO2 emissions associated with oil extraction have been ignored. This debate has ultimately been superseded by the Higg MSI being cited for greenwashing by regulatory authorities. It is unclear what Worldly (the new name for Higg) intends to do with the Higg MSI after an independent review found it was not fit for purpose as a standalone tool.

#innovationmonday More bad news regarding lithium batteries and PFAS. 🎬 source: Phys Org In the packaging industry, PFAS is known to be used for various applications. I was not aware until now that it is used in lithium-ion batteries. I assume that the usage is unregulated. ⚠️ This was enlightening. Treatability testing showed bis-FASIs did not break down during oxidation, which has also been observed for other PFAS. However, data showed concentrations of bis-FASIs in water could be reduced using granular activated carbon and ion exchange, methods already used to remove PFAS from drinking water. "These results illustrate that treatment approaches designed for PFOA and PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) can also remove bis-FASIs https://buff.ly/3zAIyfV

Introducing my recently updated Natural Refrigerants Comparative Table, April 2024. Today, I collected the most common and effective refrigerants used in HVACR systems. My aim 🎯 is to show that natural refrigerants are the most efficient 📈, eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to HFC/HFOs for any application. Unfortunatelly, since 1980s the world largest chemical companies have managed to deceive everybody and cause great harm to the environment and all people with the widespread use of ☢ PFAS-containing and ☠️ TFA-generating synthetic refrigerants. Since then, chemical companies have produced 1,700 million tons of synthetic refrigerant, which has led to significant ozone depletion. Today, PFAS and TFA are being found in every human body and any drinking water all over the world. #freons #HFC #R134a #HFO #Opteon #R1234yf #Solstice #R1234ze. The most influential area of synthetic refrigerants usage is mobile automotive air conditioning #MAC. 🚗 This is where #PFAS and #TFA freons are used enormously - https://lnkd.in/esxzkaCi Last year 5 EU countries - Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Denmark - announced their intention to completely ban PFAS-containing materials. The change in attitude is evidenced by the judicial precedent ⚖️ that occurred in Dordrecht over #Chemours and predecessor DuPont - https://lnkd.in/e7KNmN-9 📢 This is just the beginning. The problem is that they will most likely be produced in other countries anyway. We need to quickly take the first step of requiring all manufacturers to 🚩 display PFAS content and TFA warnings on product packaging, and then ban 🚫 these harmful chemicals. And of course, responsible companies and individuals should show their attitude by refusing to purchase such products. 🤝 #naturalrefrigerants #R290 #R600a #HVAC #heatpumps #refrigeration #kältemittel #environment #MAC #sustainability #PFAS #TFA #HFC #HFO #ForeverChemicals #EUFGas List of resources: #EuropeanCommission Refrigerant Studies - https://lnkd.in/e3YjV_Xt #ASHRAE Committee Refrigerant Studies - https://lnkd.in/ertGPiNW #RefrigerantList from Wikipedia - https://lnkd.in/eAtiHMFD UNEP RTOC Assessment Report 2018 - https://lnkd.in/ex959ixx

In my previous position, we performed a technology landscape study in order to investigate different technology options that could be used to achieve plastic circularity in South Africa. Many technology options came up in the open literature and it was evident that a lot of R&D was happening in the pyrolysis space. Pyrolysis is a challenging technology to achieve plastic circularity due to the fact that it needs a relatively clean feed stock i.e. expensive (and limited) feedstock that then economically competes with mechanical recycling. Additionally, pyrolysis oil needs to be further cracked in a naphtha cracker in order to obtain the monomer building blocks for polymer re-synthesis. The naphtha cracker makes the economics challenging for green field installations as well as resulted in a complicated process flowsheet for brown field installations. During the landscape study, the technology proposed by Synova Tech, did not feature. Upon further analysis, I do however see that it proposes an elegant solution to achieve plastic circularity and hits the sweet spot between pyrolysis and gasification. Using a unique reactor configuration and gas clean-up process, the Synova cracking technology can process a wide variety of waste (unlike pyrolysis) and directly extract the valuable monomers from the waste without the need for a further cracking step as required by pyrolysis or synthesis step as required by high temperature gasification. I’m interested in Synova’s technology development and the role that it can play in achieving plastic circularity and will be watching with anticipation.
So far, pyrolysis and gasification are the only two chemical recycling pathways described to work for mixed plastic waste streams. There is a third way – cracking. A solid waste cracker operates at temperatures between a pyrolysis reactor and a gasifier and produces a product gas that is rich in C2 to C7 molecules, very similar to a Naphtha steam cracker furnace. It therefore enables a significantly shorter recycling loop than pyrolysis and gasification to produce the targeted circular monomers, avoiding additional reaction steps and the associated plastic-to-plastic yield losses. Operating at the “just right” temperature also ensures that unwanted heteroatoms present in the waste like O, N, S, and Cl end up predominantly in small molecules, that can be separated from the circular monomer streams using industry-proven gas-cleaning technologies. Our CEO Joerg Krueger will be speaking about this unique chemical recycling solution developed by SYNOVA and its partners at ERTC 2023 (https://lnkd.in/dwASgmH).
