A composition for decomposing pharmaceutically active agents, comprises up to 30 wt. % oxidizer; and up to 30 wt. % immobilizer; wherein the wt. % is based on a total weight of the composition.

A Pseudomonas sp. ECO-1 strain was preserved at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on Mar. 31, 2017, with the preservation number of CGMCC No. 13960. The Pseudomonas sp. ECO-1 strain was separated from POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) polluted soil for the first time. The bifunctional enzyme preparation capable of efficiently degrading polychlorinated biphenyl and atrazine was prepared by utilizing the strain for the first time; especially, the bifunctional enzyme preparation has remarkable degradation activity on the polychlorinated biphenyl which is difficult to degrade under an aerobic condition, which is completely different from functions of existing known Pseudomonas sp. and enzyme preparations thereof.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for treating a waste substance containing perfluoro- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The method includes combining the PFAS with a first amendment in a reactor to create a combination, heating and pressurizing the combination to hydrothermal conditions, and holding the combination at hydrothermal conditions for a holding time sufficient to at least partially mineralize the PFAS to create a treated combination.

The present invention relates to a method of detoxifying a liquid chemical agent using a metal organic framework having a surface modified with a basic amine-based compound. More particularly, a surface-modified metal organic framework having the amine-based compound deposited on a surface thereof and in pores thereof or bonded to the inside of a frame is prepared, and when the surface-modified metal organic framework comes into contact with the liquid chemical agent, a reaction with moisture in the atmosphere occurs, thus removing the liquid chemical agent through a hydrolysis reaction. It is possible to simultaneously detoxify various chemical agents such as a nerve agent and a vesicant, thus assuring a high detoxification effect on liquid chemical agents at room temperature even when using a small amount thereof.

A composition for decomposing pharmaceutically active agents, comprises up to 30 wt. % oxidizer; and up to 30 wt. % immobilizer; wherein the wt. % is based on a total weight of the composition.

An apparatus for the destruction of a precursor material includes a steam plasma reactor having a high temperature zone and a combustion zone. The high temperature zone is adapted for hydrolyzing the precursor material, whereas the combustion zone is adapted to effect medium temperature oxidation of the reactant stream where combustion oxygen or air is injected. A quenching unit is provided at an exit end of the reactor for quenching a resulting gas stream to avoid the formation of unwanted by-products.

The present invention relates to a method for decomposing polyfluorocarboxylic acids, characterized in that a mixture containing polyfluorocarboxylic acids, water, and a basic compound is heated.

A PFAS detoxification system 1 includes a concentrator 11 configured to concentrate a waste liquid containing PFAS, discharged from a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus 100; a sulfuric acid processing tub 12 configured to decompose and evaporate a concentrated liquid concentrated by the concentrator 11 with a liquid containing concentrated sulfuric acid; and a cooling apparatus 13 configured to liquefy and collect a gas evaporated by the sulfuric acid processing tub 12.

Clean, safe and efficient methods and systems for utilizing thermolysis methods to process and recycle various waste sources containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances to safely remove fluorine and other hazardous materials are provided. The methods and systems beneficially convert waste sources into a Clean Fuel Gas and Char source providing safe, efficient, and cost-effective alternatives to the current buildup of such waste sources. Methods utilizing a multicomponent, energy-assisted, chemical reaction are provided.

Microbiological cleaning formulations may include an aqueous solution of a microbial component comprising at least one sporogenous microbial species. The microbiological cleaning formulation may also include a nonionic surfactant. The microbiological cleaning formulations may further include additives, solvents, preservatives, stabilizers, and fragrance agents. The microbiological formulations are such that they may removes organic carcinogens from a surface of a material contaminated during firefighting-related activities or from exposure to organic carcinogens. Corresponding methods for removing organic carcinogens from a surface of a firefighting material may include applying the microbiological cleaning formulation on the surface of the firefighting material. Corresponding cleaning kits may include the microbiological cleaning formulation and an optional scrubbing element.
