CIL Announces Breakthrough in Benzene Recovery, Addressing Cost, Environmental, and Supply Challenges for OLED Display Manufacturers12.12.2024 09:00:00 CET | Press release
TEWKSBURY, MA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2024 / Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL) has successfully developed and implemented a game-changing benzene-d6 recovery program, addressing major pain points for manufacturers of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. This innovative service reduces costs, minimizes environmental impact, and conserves scarce deuterium supplies. OLED display producers rely heavily on deuterated benzene (benzene-d6) as a critical starting material in their synthesis processes.

The disposal of such depleted material poses environmental challenges and substantial expenses. CIL's benzene-recovery program offers a transformative solution. Customers can now return their depleted benzene-d6 to CIL, where it undergoes a proprietary re-enrichment process to restore it to virgin material quality. This service is
