Q. I had been in industrial coatings sales for 30 years. I read the question posed by T.T. in your September 2012 column titled “Waste Treatment for Paint Stripping” regarding the disposal of waste from paint stripping. I recommend that T.T. consider purchasing a stripping oven, used to strip products and paint racks. This would basically leave him/her with a carbon/inorganic powder residue. Of course, the basic question is whether the parts will distort because of the high heat; if not, I believe this method would eliminate the disposal problem. S.B.
A. It is always great for readers to share their experiences. I, too, am familiar with stripping (a.k.a. burn-off) ovens. I have found that the vast majority of residue falls off of the part in the oven and can be easily removed with a vacuum equipped with an industrial HEPA filter.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 12th Quarterly Report
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 12th quarter of project work (October – December 2023) at the University of Georgia. In our previous report, we described our work on performance and effect of surface fluorinated Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation in reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) mode. This quarter, our experiments involved utilizing porous Ti4O7 plates serving both as anodes and membranes. Tests compared pristine and F-18.6 Ti4O7 anodes at current densities of 10 mA/cm2 and 40 mA/cm2. This 12th quarterly report discusses the mechanisms of the effects on EO performance by anode surface fluorination.
