chlorofluorocarbon Applications

Erdwich reclaims even Pentane and CFCs with 99% purity! Several million scrap refrigerator units are disposed of every year in Germany alone. The proportion of refrigeration units recycled by volume totals about 40% and is the most significant segment after consumer electronics. One particular challenge in this recycling process is presented by chlorofluorocarbons such as R 11, R 12 or R 141b, which were used for decades as foaming agents for insulation materials. Since these substances damage the Earth’s...

NMR applications include methods that can be useful in quantifying and speciating dissolved organic matter in earth’s atmosphere, ocean, and soil (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene & xylene (BTEX), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE).

The recent COP 21 meeting reexposed the need for global coordination to monitor Green House Gases (GHG) as well as emissions of ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFC). Networks of sensors have been deployed over the Earth to measure concentration of gases such as methane, carbon monoxide, ethane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, nitrogen oxide and dioxide (NOx)… Such task requires instrument with not only ultra high accuracy but also ultra high precision. Our QCNose Instruments have been designed for such operations...

Enhanced anaerobic biodegradation is the practice of adding hydrogen (an electron donor) to groundwater and/or soil to increase the number and vitality of indigenous microorganisms performing anaerobic bioremediation (reductive dechlorination) on any anaerobically degradable compound or chlorinated contaminant. The most commonly targeted chlorinated groundwater contaminants are primarily used in industry as degreasing agents and include: Perchloroethylene (PCE), Trichloroethylene (TCE), Dichloroethylene (DCE),...
