Abstract
Sorbent material sheet products, methods of manufacturing the sheets, and methods of using the sheets are disclosed herein. The sorbent material sheet products include a sorbent material and binder that is selected to reduce the amount of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) generated during the binder production. The binders may include binders that do not have fluorine.
Claims23
A sorbent material sheet product comprising:
- a sorbent material;
- and
- a binder comprising one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyamide 6 (PA6), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a microfibrillated cellulose, a styrenic thermoplastic elastomer, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
A method of manufacturing a sorbent material sheet, the method comprising:
- providing a sorbent material and a binder comprising one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyamide 6 (PA6), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a microfibrillated cellulose, a styrenic thermoplastic elastomer, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA);
- mixing the sorbent material and the binder to form a mixture;
- and
- forming the mixture into a sorbent material sheet.
A method of removing a target compound from a fluid, the method comprising:
- providing a sorbent material sheet product including a sorbent material and a binder comprising one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyamide 6 (PA6), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a microfibrillated cellulose, a styrenic thermoplastic elastomer, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA);
- and
- contacting the fluid with the sorbent material sheet product.
