Removal and Destruction of mixtures of PFAS by Coupling Magnetic Modified Clay and Photoreductive Degradation
A special magnetic clay adsorbs and then destroys PFAS pollutants upon exposure to UV light and chemicals, offering nearly complete removal, reusability, and a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional water treatment methods. Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic chemicals widely used in...

Removing Per- and Polyfluorinated (PFAS) from the Environment
An effective, green, scalable, and sustainable approach for removing chemical contaminants from drinking water and groundwater. Background: Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent manmade chemicals that have been widely used since the 1950s. Across the United States, hundreds of sites have been contaminated by these anthropogenic...
