Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances

Using light and laser resonance to deal with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) involves leveraging the energy from specific light wavelengths, including lasers, to break down the strong carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS molecules.

This process can create reactive species or induce photochemical reactions to degrade PFAS into less harmful substances. Here’s how NovaBioSync can apply this technology

At NovaBioSync, our values form the backbone of everything we do. Integrity, innovation, customer-centricity, collaboration, and sustainability are at the core of our efforts, driving us to make a positive impact on society.

Nova Biosync

Photocatalysis with Light Resonance

Mechanism

Light, particularly UV or visible wavelengths, can activate photocatalysts (e.g., titanium dioxide, TiO₂) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radicals. These radicals attack and break the carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS molecules, leading to their decomposition.

How NovaBioSync Can Use It

Design light resonance systems that optimize the interaction between the light source, photocatalysts, and PFAS molecules. Utilize structured water from NovaBioSync's resonance technology to enhance the activity of ROS.

Nova Biosync

Laser-Induced Breakdown

Mechanism

High-intensity lasers can induce localized high-energy conditions, causing PFAS molecules to break apart. Pulsed lasers can create shockwaves or plasma in a medium (e.g., water), disrupting PFAS at the molecular level.

How NovaBioSync Can Use It

Implement pulsed laser systems with precision targeting to degrade PFAS in contaminated water or soil. Combine laser systems with NovaBioSync's structured water to amplify the breakdown process through improved molecular dynamics.

Nova Biosync

Photothermal Degradation

Mechanism

Resonance from specific light wavelengths (e.g., infrared lasers) can generate localized heat, breaking down PFAS molecules in a controlled environment. The photothermal effect can also enhance the performance of catalysts or support advanced oxidative processes.

How NovaBioSync Can Use It

Develop light-based systems that target contaminated water with heat-assisted PFAS decomposition. Incorporate resonance-modified materials to improve heat transfer and efficiency.

Nova Biosync

Resonance-Driven Molecular Excitation

Mechanism

Light resonance can excite PFAS molecules to higher energy states, making their chemical bonds more susceptible to degradation. This approach can be combined with chemical additives or structured water to improve reaction efficiency.

How NovaBioSync Can Use It

Tailor light resonance frequencies to resonate specifically with PFAS molecular structures, weakening the bonds for easier breakdown. Use this technology for both water treatment systems and industrial waste management.

Nova Biosync

Photo-Fenton and Photo-Activated Oxidation

Mechanism

Light resonance can activate iron-based catalysts (Fenton reactions) or other oxidants (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) to generate radicals that degrade PFAS. These processes are particularly effective when enhanced by UV or visible light.

How NovaBioSync Can Use It

Design resonance-enhanced Fenton systems that are portable and scalable for industrial applications. Combine this approach with existing NovaBioSync water restructuring technologies for added effectiveness.
