Fraunhofer ICT activities At Fraunhofer ICT in Pfinztal, Germany, a continuous extraction process using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder has been developed. This continuous lab-scale process (~ 3-7 kg/h) for the removal of phthalate-based plasticizers (DEHP) from soft PVC was installed successfully. For optimized extraction conditions as [...]

New step for development of materials to remove lead stabilizers from End-of-Life Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Researchers from the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia (UVEG) are taking part in REMADYL, a Horizon 2020 European Project consisting in developing scavenger materials for the removal [...]

REMADYL Fifth General Assembly The Fifth General Assembly meeting of Remadyl Consortium has just concluded. The partners met online for two technical working sessions (December 15-16, 2021) to assess the project progresses. The project has now reached a focal point in the actuation of its workplan. [...]

Pilot plant filtering trials to remove lead stabilizer from End-of Life PVC As part of the REMADYL project, AIMPLAS is currently studying the removal of lead stabilizers from End-of-Life PVC, using layered double hydroxide (LDH) scavenger complexes. The synthesis of this LDH complex was first optimized [...]

REMADYL: an approach to standards and legislation. The importance of developing a common policy brief PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) has been at the centre of a controversial debate during much of the last two decades. Several diverging scientific, technical, and economic opinions have been expressed on the [...]

A prototype to detect lead content in rigid PVC samples in REMADYL IRIS is working on the prototype to detect lead content in rigid PVC samples, which is currently able to determine whether a sample exceeds the limit concentration of lead. The prototype, which is based [...]
