Development of electrochemically activated sorbents for PFAS defluorination

该项目旨在开发一种新的处理技术，使全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）完全去氟化，并处理大量水。大多数现有的水处理技术都无法将PFAS去除到理想的程度，价格昂贵，或者只能在非常有限的寿命内使用。该项目预计将开发一种新的处理技术，能够完全去氟化PFAS，处理大量水，并帮助解决水处理运营商面临的许多紧迫问题。这项技术还具有可扩展性，可以用于处理大量受污染的水。

This project aims to develop a new treatment technology to completely defluorinate per- and poly-fluroalkyl substances (PFAS) and to treat significant water quantities. The majority of existing water treatment technologies are unable to remove PFAS to the desired extent, are prohibitively expensive or are only useful for a very limited lifespan. This project is expected to develop a new treatment technology with the ability to completely defluorinate PFAS, treat significant water quantities and help address many of the pressing concerns facing water treatment operators. This technology is also scalable, and can potentially be used to treat significant quantities of contaminated water.
