The National Association for Surface Finishing’s (NASF) New England Chapter will hold an in-person seminar on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, which will cover training for the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as well as hazard communication.

This continuing education opportunity will include presentation topics such as the RCRA, hazard communication, inspection preparation and PFAS testing procedures. Lunch and registration will take place from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., followed by the seminar, which will go until 5:00 p.m.

The seminar will take place at the Courtyard Marriott located at 75 Felton St., Marlborough, Massachusetts 01752. The cost of the seminar is $100 for members and $200 for non-members.

Presentation will include the following:

Alisa Werst of HRP Associates will present on requirements designed to meet RCRA Reg 40CFR 265.16 annual hazardous waste handling and safety training requirements.
Brian Morrill, associate principal and VP of GZA Environmental, will discuss how to successfully prepare for and handle and environmental audit and inspection.
Jim Occhialini, technical specialist and VP of Alpha Analytical, will provide information on PFAS testing, with emphasis on sample collection, currently being required by sewer authorities throughout the state.

Registration forms for the event can be found on NASF’s website.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 12th Quarterly Report

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 12th quarter of project work (October – December 2023) at the University of Georgia. In our previous report, we described our work on performance and effect of surface fluorinated Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation in reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) mode. This quarter, our experiments involved utilizing porous Ti4O7 plates serving both as anodes and membranes. Tests compared pristine and F-18.6 Ti4O7 anodes at current densities of 10 mA/cm2 and 40 mA/cm2. This 12th quarterly report discusses the mechanisms of the effects on EO performance by anode surface fluorination.
