Use of PFOS in chromium plating – Characterisation of closed-loop systems, use of alternative substances

Description: ⁠ PFOS ⁠ (Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) is a persistent organic pollutant. Its use has been strictly restricted by the Stockholm Convention and EU ⁠ POP ⁠ Regulation. In the EU, the use of ⁠ PFOS ⁠ is still permitted for “non-decorative hard chromium (VI) plating in closed loop systems” in the plating industry, as a specific exemption. With the aim of minimizing PFOS-emissions into the environment, this project describes the characteristics and possible improvements of a closed loop system. Both non-fluorinated compounds and short-chain fluorinated compounds are discussed as substitutes for PFOS in the plating industry. Veröffentlicht in Texte | 95/2017.
