Electronic Precision Specialties Wins 'Metal Finishing Model Shop Award'

The California/EPA Department of Toxic Substances and Control has recognized Electronic Precision Specialties, Inc., with the "Metal Finishing Model Shop Award," only the fourth shop to receive the award.

This award is achieved through implementation of pollution prevention measures, including new technologies and strict compliance with environmental regulation. EPSI is one of only four companies in California to receive this recognition.

The City of Brea, which has been the location of EPSI since 1980, has also chosen to recognize the company for its achievement of 'Model Shop' status and its citizenship in voluntarily preventing pollution by facilitating a cleaner and safer shop.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 7th 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. Our last report described the results from experiments of EO with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode on the degradation of eight perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs). In this seven quarter report, we describe work to further explore how the degradation of different PFAAs are related to their molecular structures.
NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #120: Electrochemical Destruction of Perfluorooctanesulfonate in Electroplating Wastewaters – January – December 2023

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers quarterly reporting for the year 2023 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The objective of this work is to utilize a cost-effective reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) for the removal of PFAS from synthetic electroplating wastewater. Discussed here are the oxidation of PFOA with three different catalysts, development of a method for detecting PFAS, as well as work on 6:2-fluorotelomersulfonic acid (6:2 FTS) and electrodeposited bismuth/tin oxide catalysts.
