Columbia Chemical Receives Employee-Ownership Award
The company began employee stock ownership in 2005 and has been 100 percent employee-owned since 2012.
Eight Columbia employees were present at the OCEO Conference to receive the company’s award for 10 years of employee ownership: (Kneeling in front, l to r) Bill Rosenberg, Jr. and Mark Schario. (Back row, l to r) Tim Lang, Doug Rubino, Brett Larick, Mariann Dance, Martin Gall, and Greg Schneider.
Columbia Chemical Columbia Chemical recently received an Ohio Employee Ownership Award in recognition of 10years of employee ownership.
The company began employee stock ownership in 2005 and has been 100 percent employee-owned since 2012. The award was presented at the Ohio Center for Employee Ownership (OCEO) Conference, which drew a crowd of nearly 400 people.
Columbia Chemical is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of zinc and zinc-alloy plating additives.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 10th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board selected a project addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams. This report covers the 10th quarter of work (April-June 2023). Here, we examine the effect of surface fluorination of Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation performance in terms of energy performance as well as formation of chlorate and perchlorate when chloride is present in the solution. The full paper on this work can be accessed and printed at short.pfonline.com/NASF24Feb2.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #120: Electrochemical Destruction of Perfluorooctanesulfonate in Electroplating Wastewaters - April 2022-March 2023
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers project work from April 2022 to March 2023 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The overall objective of this work is to utilize a cost-effective reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) for the removal of PFAS from synthetic electroplating wastewater. Initial results for the oxidation of PFOA with three different catalysts are discussed.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 6th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board has selected a project on addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams, studying PFAS destruction via electrooxidation and electrocoagulation. This sixth quarter report covers the continued assessment of eight perfluoroalkyl acids PFAAs most commonly found in wastewaters, by electro-oxidation with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode across a range of anodic potentials in solutions, exploring the reaction mechanisms. To summarize, the PFAAs start to exhibit degradation behavior when the anodic potential reaches a level where water oxidation occurs, suggesting that the hydroxyl free radicals generated via water oxidation play a role in PFAA degradation.
