Waste Pharma Mineralization
Waste Pharmaceutical Mineralization
Pharmaceutical waste is a growing global problem as unused drugs either find their way back into society fueling drug addiction or through poor disposal leach into our water and soils impacting the hormone systems of living beings including humans. Supercharging hydrogen peroxide with TAML™ catalysts is a promising solution. In bench studies with a leading environmental company, TAML™/ peroxide rapidly mineralized oxycodone, the active ingredient in Oxycontin. Ongoing studies are testing the efficacy of TAML™ processes to mineralize a wide range of Schedule 1 and 2 pharmaceuticals.
