Pilot-Scale Demonstration of Foam Fractionation and Hydrothermal Alkaline Treatment for PFAS Removal and Destruction in a Municipal Wastewater Stream

Abstract Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a known focal point for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) accumulation, transformation, and transport. PFAS from disparate household and industrial sources are conveyed to central WWTPs and often end up in municip...

Supercritical Water Oxidation of PFAS-Laden Granular-Activated Carbon

Abstract Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is a promising end-of-life treatment for recalcitrant pollutants; however, the destruction of PFAS loaded onto granular activated carbon (GAC) media and the fate of carbon particles remain poorly understood. We examine the oxidation o...
