Not to be confused with Qmetry in California, in collaboration with University of Kentucky, Lexington this Qmetry was funded by EPA to investigate the feasibility of a electrochemical advanced oxidation process. The composite electrode made from ordinary materials - is chemically and physically modified such a way that it preferentially adsorbs and oxidizes PFOS and PFOA molecules. The composite electrode is benign and disposable and can be implemented in ordinary farming and construction equipment. If successful, the remediation method can be carried out in situ without extensive material and energy input or capital investment. Environmentally compatible with clean oxidant and without secondary pollutants, this method will be immensely beneficial for remediation market. The team will target semiconductor manufacturing and oil and gas industry for initial commercialization its current primary customers.
