Calgon Carbon Reactivation Study Shows Removal and Destruction of PFAS

Pittsburgh, PA, Dec. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new study by Calgon Carbon Corporation ("Calgon Carbon"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuraray Co., Ltd. (TYO: 3405) ("Kuraray"), has provided a definitive response to a persistent question about the fate of PFAS during reactivation of activated carbon. Reactivation is a high temperature thermal process that is commonly used by municipalities and industrial users to recycle their used activated carbon and destroy contaminants it has removed.

"The single–biggest conclusion from the study is that PFAS compounds are effectively removed from spent carbon through the reactivation process, as well as showing greater than 99.99% destruction of PFAS through our furnace and abatement system," explained Rebecca DiStefano, Senior Applications Engineer at Calgon Carbon.

Remediation–The Journal of Environmental Cleanup Costs, Technologies, & Techniques, featured the findings of Calgon Carbon's study in a peer–reviewed article published in the autumn issue of the esteemed quarterly journal that focuses on the practical applications of remediation techniques and technologies.

"The data detailed in our article effectively demonstrated the removal of PFAS compounds from granular activated carbon (GAC) and greater than 99.99% destruction of PFAS compounds through the furnace and off–gas abatement system," said DiStefano, the lead author of the Remediation article.

The study's findings come at a time of growing concern and increased focus about the impact of PFAS, often referred to as "forever chemicals" because of their inability to break down over time in the environment.

"This is research that no one else in the industry has published.," DiStefano said. "We don't want to have these unknowns stay out there and linger in people's minds. We wanted to answer these questions and move the industry forward and continue promoting GAC as the best available treatment (BAT) technology for removing PFAS."

Calgon Carbon's FILTRASORB GAC, sourced from bituminous coal, has demonstrated superior PFAS–removal capabilities compared to other carbons for two decades.

GAC is the most widely used and well–established treatment technology for the removal of PFAS contaminants from drinking water and wastewater. Thermally treating GAC at the end of its useful service life "" known as spent carbon "" is called reactivation, a process that vaporizes and destroys adsorbed contaminants at extremely high temperatures and restores the GAC to a near–virgin state so it can be reused.

In the first stage of Calgon Carbon's proprietary reactivation process, PFAS–laden GAC is heated in a furnace for several hours at temperatures of up to 1750 degrees Fahrenheit, imparting enough energy to break down PFAS's carbon–fluoride bonds, the strongest in chemistry.

The off gas from the reactivation furnace then moves into an abatement system, which features a thermal oxidizer/afterburner designed to destroy any organics that were not destroyed in the furnace. From there, it proceeds through a scrubber to neutralize any acid gases, such as hydrogen fluoride, and remove them from the abatement air. Finally, it passes through a baghouse to eliminate particulate matter.

"It's a combination of our reactivation furnaces and the abatement systems that achieves these very high levels of destruction," said John Matthis, Global PFAS Team leader at Calgon Carbon. "With other technologies, you may be removing PFAS from the water, but the question is, what do you do with that media once it has PFAS on it? Activated carbon and reactivation are unique because not only are we removing the contaminants from your water, we also are effectively removing them from the carbon "" and from the environment as well."

For its study, Calgon Carbon enlisted the services of an independent, third–party vendor to test air samples for 36 PFAS compounds. Another third–party vendor analyzed well water and treated motive water samples for PFAS, as well as analyzing samples of spent carbon, reactivated carbon, abatement dust, and bicarbonate raw material for extraction and targeted PFAS.

Since creating the first activated carbon products from bituminous coal in the 1940s, Calgon Carbon has been a pioneer in developing high–performing granular activated carbon products for water purification.

Jenalle Brewer, Senior Vice President "" Drinking Water, Innovative Carbon Tech & Global Business at Calgon Carbon said, "PFAS is portrayed in the media as a relatively recent problem. However, we've been offering treatment solutions for PFAS for more than 20 years. Our FILTRASORB activated carbon products help to ensure that "forever chemicals' are forever no more. It's a problem people thought they had to live with, but as our study has proven, they really don't."

NewGlobe methods transforming African and Indian education as world leaders gather to address learning crisis at global summit.

LAGOS, Nigeria, Sept. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — An innovative teaching methodology delivering "learning gains among the largest ever measured" is being taken–up by more and more African and Indian governments – ahead of the global education summit to tackle what's being called the greatest learning crisis for 100 years.

Rwanda's Government is the latest to launch a national education transformation program – RwandaEQUIP – with the aim of making the country's entire basic education system globally competitive.

Global leaders are gathering in New York for the UN Transforming Education Summit – convened in response to the crisis in global education. A "Solutions Day' will focus on the few replicable programs – like RwandaEQUIP – already delivering transformation at scale.

"Educational transformation is a core priority for the Government of Rwanda and bold investments have been made to this effect," said Gaspard Twagirayezu, Minister of State in Charge of Primary and Secondary Education.

RwandaEQUIP is supported by NewGlobe's innovative methodology, confirmed in a landmark study to deliver learning gains easily in the top 1% of those ever rigorously studied at scale in emerging markets.

The study, led by Professor Michael Kremer, 2019 Nobel Prize winner, suggests children living in underserved communities receive over 53% more learning in NewGlobe supported schools compared to students in other schools.

The results are an affirmation of NewGlobe's integrated learning system, used by the Government of Rwanda and others across Africa and India to support a million students today and growing year–on–year.

The study is based on a randomized control trial of more than 10,000 students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in Kenya.

  • After two years, primary students taught using NewGlobe's methods are nearly a whole additional year of learning ahead of students in other schools.
  • For pre–primary students, two years' teaching using NewGlobe's methods puts them a year–and–a–half of additional learning ahead of other students.


NewGlobe's Africa Director Clement Uwajenza said: "Despite enormous global investment, the 2030 SDG4 education targets will be missed, failing another generation of children. Now, is the time to identify and scale effective local solutions already being implemented by governments in the Global South. We all know the scale of the crisis, now we need practical action to solve it. The international community must unite and commit to implementing solutions already proven to work if we're to have any prospect of delivering on the promise of quality education for all. We must all hope that this Summit seizes the chance for change."

The groundbreaking education study also finds children taught using New Globe's methods are three times more likely to be able to read at age seven. The World Bank estimates 90% of 10 year olds in Africa can't read a single sentence.

World Bank Education Director Jaime Saavedra says the level of learning poverty in low and middle income countries is "the most serious education crisis of the last 100 years."

The latest UNESCO estimates suggest that SDG4 – the target to ensure quality education for all by 2030 – will be missed, with 300 million children still not reaching basic standards in literacy and numeracy.
