TC100

SGC TC-100 is a clay medium for purifying soil and water contaminated with PFAS (organofluorine compounds).

From the perspective of the global environment, this is an adsorption/decomposition material that can decompose PFAS with less impact on nature.

It has both adsorption and decomposition ability of clay and decomposition ability by light.

There is no need to replace or remove it, just apply it and expose it to light to break down PFAS.

(In nature, organic fluorine compounds that are bonded to carbon are converted to fluorine ions and rendered harmless (e.g., fluorine applied to teeth))

The disadvantage is that it cannot be decomposed instantly, but it can be decomposed within a week by extending the UV irradiation time (photocatalytic effect of titanium oxide).

It can also be used as sludge for removing PFAS, by mixing sludge and SGC TC-100 using heavy machinery and exposing it to sunlight to gradually decompose PFAS.

The decomposition effect varies depending on the usage environment, but it lasts for about 1 to 3 years, and the clay medium after use is reduced to natural minerals and does not need to be replaced or disposed of.

In addition, PFAS releases small amounts of hydrogen and oxygen (decomposition of organic matter by photocatalysts) when decomposed, so when used on desertified land, it can also provide a water retention effect by utilizing the water retention properties of clay.

Other organic matter (such as fungi) can also be decomposed by sunlight, so it can be used in areas such as farmland and water intake ponds where pesticides cannot be used.

You can also use it.
