Decomposing refrigerants with industrial waste
July 24, 2024
SOUTH KOREA: Researchers from the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) claim to have developed a technology to decompose R134a refrigerant using an industrial waste product.
The process is seen to have a number of potential environmental benefits: in addition to lowering greenhouse gas emissions, it utilises a toxic industrial waste by-product and is a less energy consuming alternative to current HFC destruction methods.
