Q. I am trying to reduce the trivalent chrome in a hexavalent chrome tank. There was a method described in one of the directories a few years ago that I used, and it worked, but now I can't find the book it was in. I used copper rods hung in the tank, but, if I remember correctly, the length and placement of the rods was critical, as was the amount of amps used. A.R.K.

    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.

    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.
