  1. 21. Electrochemical oxidation of PFAS in soil conditions : Using Boron-doped diamond electrodes and iron electrodes

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Alexander Öhberg; [2022]
    Keywords : PFAS ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION IN-SITU DESTRUCTION MINERALISATION REMOVAL;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a rising topic in the field of contaminated sites around the world, with destruction of these being an area in dire need of innovation. Previous experiments of destructive character have been proven efficient using boron doped diamond electrodes (BDD) in small scale electrochemical cells. READ MORE

  3. 22. Method development and screening of extractable organofluorine (EOF) and targeted PFAS analysis in food packaging materials

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Nora Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances PFAS ; Food packaging materials; Extractable organofluorine; Method development; Combustion ion chromatography; Targeted analysis;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been manufactured and used in differentapplications for several decades, including food packaging materials. During the last 20 yearsthese compounds have been acknowledged as hazardous for humans and the environment, anddifferent regulations on PFAS have been established on both national and international levels.

  4. 23. Hydrodynamic Modelling of Spread of Perfluoroalkyl Octanoic Sulphonate and Perfluoroalkyl Hexanoic Sulphonate in Lake Ekoln

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Prajwol Prajapati; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydrodynamic modelling; water quality; PFAS; PFOS; PFHxS; MIKE 3 FM; Ekoln; Fyrisån;

    Abstract : Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found ubiquitously in the environment across the globe.These substances have high persistence due to the strong carbon and fluorine bond. In the aquaticenvironment, due to high persistence, these substances don’t decay easily and are detected on the surfaceas well as in groundwater sources. READ MORE

  5. 24. REMOVAL OF PFAS FROM WASTEWATER THROUGH ADSORPTION AND SORBENT INCINERATION

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Aston Sandblad; [2022]
    Keywords : PFAS; Adsorption; Incineration;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, PFAS, are a manufactured group of chemicals that have been found to be toxic to humans and the environment. Exposure to PFAS may include birth defects for infants as well as an increased risk of cancer. READ MORE

  6. 25. Evaluation of PFAS removal from nanofiltration membrane concentrate using foam fractionation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper
