“A new technique that uses sound waves to separate materials for recycling could help prevent harmful chemicals from leaching into the environment.
Researchers at the University of Leicester have reached a major breakthrough in fuel cell recycling by developing a method to efficiently separate valuable catalyst materials and fluorinated polymer membranes (PFAS) from catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs).
This advancement tackles significant environmental concerns related to PFAS, often called ‘forever chemicals,’ which are known to pollute drinking water and pose serious health risks. The Royal Society of Chemistry has called for government action to lower PFAS levels in UK water supplies.” …
