Integrated platform technologies for remediation of PFAS contaminated water

该项目旨在利用我们获得专利的高容量吸附材料开发低成本平台技术，用于从澳大利亚受污染的水源中去除全氟烷基物质（PFAS）。我们先进的吸附材料是由一种新型的硫共聚物和活性炭制成的，这两种材料对PFAS都有很高的亲和力，但当它们结合成复合材料时，对PFAS的修复具有显著的优势。该吸附剂将应用于移动水处理厂修复PFAS污染的含水层。我们还将利用吸附剂开发个人家庭用水点过滤器，从而通过为澳大利亚的PFAS危机提供切实可行的解决方案，增强个人和当地社区的能力。

This project aims to develop low cost platform technologies using our patented high capacity adsorbent material for the removal of perfluoralkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water sources in Australia. Our advanced adsorbent material is made from a novel sulfur co-polymer and activated carbon, both of which have high affinity for PFAS, but when combined as a composite provide significant advantages for PFAS remediation. This adsorbent will be applied in mobile water treatment plants for remediation of PFAS contaminated aquifers. We will also develop point-of-use water filters for individual, domestic use from the adsorbent, thus empowering individuals and local communities by delivering tangible solutions to Australia’s PFAS crisis.
