Author

Gaon, I. J. - Presenter, KMX Corporation
With the advent of new polymer materials and developments in pervaporation and other membrane technologies, pharmaceutical companies can take advantage of separating waste chemical streams to recover target materials for reuse or resale. At the same time they will be reducing waste disposal costs and providing environmental betterment by reducing the volume of chemicals sent for incineration and landfill.

Learn about KmX's commercial pervaporation system capable of separating some 25,000 liters of mixed solvents per day as well as tests being carried out to recover spent Acetonitrile to HPLC grade.
