NASF/AESF has announced part 2 of its web-based Pollution Prevention course. The course will run throughout April on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Noon – 2 p.m. EST.
Webinar Dates: April 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28
The course will cover:
- Best Operating Practices
- Pollution Prevention for Acids and Cleaners
- Pollution Prevention and Ion Exchange
- Electrolytic Recovery Systems
- Evaporative Recovery Systems
- Reverse Osmosis and Other Membrane-based Recovery Systems
- Pollution Prevention in Plating Processes
- Pollution Prevention in Aluminum Finishing
- Pollution Prevention for Stripping Operations
- Alternates to Electroplating
The training program benefits operators and supervisors of contract and captive shops performing metal finishing operations such as electroplating and anodizing. The course can also benefit sales personnel who work for manufacturers or service companies in the pollution control industry.
NASF/AESF says that at the conclusion of the course, students can expect to:
- Understand the best operating practices employed in metal finishing operations.
- Be able to better understand and specify equipment used for pollution prevention and recycle.
- Know the basics of ion exchange, electrolytic, evaporative, membrane technologies used for the recovery and recycling of processing chemicals.
- Be aware of methods for reducing pollution from plating and stripping processes.
- Know the types of recycling and recovery technologies used in aluminum finishing processes.
- Be aware of alternatives that may be employed to eliminate the need for electroplating.
- be prepared to take the optional Pollution Prevention certification exam, which counts as one point towards the MSF certification program.

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 #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.
