Background Chemicals are an essential part of European Union citizens’ daily lives, and the EU chemicals' sector is also a major strategic sector for the EU. However, chemicals can pose a severe threat to the environment and health. Toxic chemicals represent about 62% of total chemical production in the EU. Several specific phosphorus derivatives are used in a wide range of applications, including pesticides, flame retardants, plastics, childcare products and pharmaceuticals. Although there is no conclusive data on their toxicity for human health and the environment, their production can involve chemical intermediaries (such as specific ammines) that need to be treated and recovered, or phenol derivatives, which are all categorised as highly toxic. Additionally, wastewater produced in the process needs to be treated and neutralised. Objectives The project will demonstrate a more sustainable and efficient process for the production of such compounds. The new process will avoid the use of toxic chemicals and will not produce contaminated wastewater because water use is largely avoided. The new process also uses less energy and generates by-products that are useful for other sectors such as agriculture. Expected results This LIFE project will: Set up an innovative, highly sustainable and efficient continuous process; Avoid the production of hazardous intermediaries and by-products and the use of toxic chemicals for wastewater treatment; Reduce energy consumption in the process by 20-30% as a result of the simplification of the industrial process, the 100% recovery of solvents and elimination of wastewater treatment; Reduce water consumption by up to 100% and wastewater production by up to 100%, compared with the current production process; and Increase awareness about alternative sustainable and eco-friendly chemical processes in the chemical industry.
