New Podcast: Turning Arsenic Waste into a Valuable Raw Material

In November 2025, Dr. Case van Genuchten was featured on the Socializing with Scientists podcast, where he discussed his work on transforming arsenic-laden drinking water waste into a valuable raw material. On the episode titled “Case van Genuchten turns arsenic waste into a valuable raw material (he’s an environmental engineer),” Case shares his journey into environmental engineering and explains how his research is tackling the global challenge of arsenic contamination. He highlights the recent discovery that arsenic waste can be chemically converted into metallic As(0) , which is a critical material used in digital infrastructure and green energy technologies. This discussion brings scientific insights to a broader audience and illustrates the real-world relevance of sustainable waste valorization.

Listen to the full episode on Socializing with Scientists (available on major podcast platforms) to learn more about how environmental engineering can turn toxic waste into value.
