Development of electrochemically activated sorbents for PFAS defluorination

该项目旨在开发一种新的处理技术，以完全去除全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS），并处理大量的水。大多数现有的水处理技术无法将PFAS去除到所需的程度，价格昂贵，或者仅在非常有限的寿命内有用。该项目预计将开发一种新的处理技术，能够完全脱氟PFAS，处理大量水，并帮助解决水处理操作员面临的许多紧迫问题。这项技术也是可扩展的，并有可能用于处理大量的污染水。

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.
