Solvent-free method developed to destroy PFAS on spent sorbents

A research team at Clarkson University has developed a method to effectively destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on spent sorbents, addressing a critical environmental challenge.

Monash researchers develop filter to remove stubborn 'forever chemicals' from water - Australian Manufacturing

A team of researchers at Monash University has developed a new type of water filtration membrane that removes small per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), marking a significant advancement in tackling persistent chemical contamination.

New water filtration membrane removes ‘forever chemicals’ - Manufacturers' Monthly

Image: Monash University Researchers at Monash University have developed a water filtration membrane that effectively removes small PFAS molecules, overcoming a challenge faced by conventional water filters. The research team designed a beta-cyclodextrin (βCD) modified graphene oxide (GO-βCD) membrane with nanoscale channels that selectively retain PFAS while allowing water to pass through. PFAS, commonly referred to as ‘forever chemicals,’ a…

Exposure routes, bioaccumulation and toxic effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) on plants: A critical review

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are artificial persistent organic pollutants ubiquitous in ecosystem, and their bioaccumulation and advers…

FPSA - Duke University Worm Study Suggests Genetics Might Play a Role in Susceptibility to PFAS Toxicity

A study demonstrated the toxic effects of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in worms—but not all PFAS were found to be equally toxic, and not all worms experienced the same harms. Identifying which genes cause PFAS susceptibility in both worms and humans could speed up PFAS testing and regulation.

A research team at the University of Clarkson has developed a method to effectively destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances on spent sorbents, by addressing a critical environmental challenge. The study, published in ENSIMABLE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, introduced a process to break down PFA captured by spent anion exchange resins (AERS) without [...]
