The specific measures for the green development direction of water treatment defoamers mainly include the following aspects:

1、 Optimize formula and raw material selection, and choose natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable raw materials as the main components of defoamers as much as possible, such as vegetable oils, natural minerals, etc. These raw materials are not only environmentally friendly, but also reduce potential risks to human health.

In formula design, reduce or avoid the use of harmful additives such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals. These substances may cause pollution to the environment and affect the environmental performance of defoamers. Develop defoamers with high biodegradability to ensure rapid microbial decomposition during wastewater treatment, without causing long-term impact on the natural environment.

2、 Technological innovation and process improvement, utilizing green chemistry principles to develop low-energy and low emission synthesis processes, reducing the generation of pollutants in the production process. For example, using catalysts instead of traditional chemical reaction conditions can improve reaction efficiency and reduce the production of by-products. Through in-depth study on the mechanism of foam formation and the action mechanism of defoamer, a green defoamer with more efficient and stable defoaming performance is developed. These defoamers can achieve the same defoaming effect at lower concentrations, thereby reducing usage and lowering the burden on the environment.

3、 Strengthen environmental standards and supervision, promote the government and relevant departments to improve the environmental standards and regulatory policies for water treatment defoamers, clarify the environmental requirements and testing methods for defoamers. This helps to regulate market order and promote the promotion and application of green defoamers.

Strengthen the supervision and random inspection of water treatment defoamers in the market, and severely crack down on the production and sale of products that do not meet environmental protection requirements. At the same time, encourage consumers to choose green and environmentally friendly defoamer products.

4、 Promote industry university research and development cooperation, encourage close cooperation between universities and enterprises, and jointly carry out green research and development of water treatment defoamers. Universities can provide technical support and talent development services for enterprises, while enterprises can provide funding and market resource support. Establish a green innovation platform for water treatment defoamers based on industry associations, research institutions, and other platforms, gathering resources from all parties to jointly promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading. Through the construction and operation of the platform, the research and application process of green defoamers can be accelerated.

5、 Enhance consumers' environmental awareness and strengthen their understanding of green consumption and the importance of environmental protection through media promotion, science popularization lectures, and other means. Guide consumers to prioritize environmentally friendly products when choosing water treatment defoamers. Encourage consumers to adopt a green lifestyle and reduce waste and pollution of water resources. Support the development of environmental protection and green defoamers through practical actions.

In summary, the specific measures for the green development direction of water treatment defoamers involve formula optimization, technological innovation, strengthening environmental standards and supervision, industry university research cooperation, and enhancing consumer environmental awareness. The implementation of these measures will help promote the green transformation and sustainable development of the water treatment defoamer industry.
