The process technology firm Lummus Technology will work with Element Six, which makes synthetic diamonds via chemical vapor deposition, to develop a new method for destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The partnership combines Element Six’s boron-doped diamond electrochemical oxidation process with Lummus’s electro-oxidation technology. The firms say the combined technology has successfully destroyed both long- and short-chain PFAS.
