RECENTLY PUBLISHED PFAS PATENTS (FROM THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD)

ON-SITE DESTRUCTION OF RECALCITRANT PERFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES BY MOLECULAR SIEVES Brief Summary: A two-stage treatment process for destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in an aqueous stream. The two-stage treatment process uses a combination of multifunctional crystalline molecular sieves, such as zeolites and zeotypes, to separate PFAS from the aqueous stream, catalytically decompose and defluorinate any PFAS molecules, and generate non-toxic waste products that are safe for disposal.

 

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE REGENERATION OF ION EXCHANGE RESINS Brief Summary: Systems for treating water containing PFAS are disclosed. Systems include a PFAS separation stage including a vessel and an ion exchange resin having an affinity for PFAS positioned within the vessel. Systems further include an ion exchange resin regeneration stage with a source of an ion exchange resin regeneration solution including a surfactant.

 

PROCESSES FOR REMOVING PERFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES AND REGENERATING AN ADSORBENT USED WITH SAME Brief Summary:  Processes and apparatuses for degrading PFAS into calcium fluoride, carbon dioxide, and water. PFAS are heated and introduced to a calcium base which will degrade the PFAS. The PFAS may be in a stream that is a PFAS enriched stream formed by desorbing the PFAS from an adsorbent which removed the PFAS from a contaminant stream. 

 

MOBILE WATER TREATMENT PLANT FOR THE REMOVAL OF PFAS CHEMICALS Brief Summary: A fully contained water treatment plant for removal of PFAS chemicals. The portable plant will allow engineers to select or modify 11 steps or stages of treatment to suit their particular water source needs.


In addition, 10 or more PFAS patents have been published during the last couple of weeks.  If you are interested in seeing the full list contact us at matt@greenheroninfo.net
