  1. 1. Utility of bark chips for removal of fluorinatedorganic compounds in water samples at a hazardouswaste management facility

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Maria Ekesbo; [2021]
    Keywords : Pine bark; PFAS; extractable organofluorine; contaminated water and sorption efficiency.;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic compounds that have beenaround since 1940. They can be used in a variety of products such as fire-fighting foam,food packaging and cosmetic products. Many PFAS have potential toxic effects on bothhumans and animals which poses a problem due to their wide distribution and persistency. READ MORE

  3. 2. Removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances(PFAS) from contaminated leachate usingaeration foam fractionation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Axel Krögerström; [2021]
    Keywords : PFAS; Foam Fractionation; Leachate; Removal Efficiency; Wastewater Treatment;

    Abstract : Leachate from landfills is contaminated in many ways and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-contamination is one of them. Recent studies have demonstrated the environmental and human concerns of PFAS. Therefore, the treatment of leachate is important. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling Competitive Sorption of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) to Soil and Sorbents

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

    Author : Linnea Georgii; [2021]
    Keywords : PFAS; modelling; competitive sorption; adsorption; isotherms; PFAS; modellering; konkurrenseffekter; adsorption; isotermer;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have become contaminants of increasing concern to society due to the contamination of drinking water and the ecosystem. A better understanding of the sorption and transport of PFASs in soil systems is urgently needed, however there have been few studies dedicated to investigating competitive sorption among PFASs, and there is no available model to model such effects.

  6. 5. Analytical Method Development of Fluorinated Silanes using Mass Spectrometry

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tea Eklundh Odler; [2018]
    Keywords : PFAS; Fluorinated silanes; Fluorinated siloxanes; 1H; 1H; 2H; 2H-Perfluorooctyl triethoxysilane; 1H; 1H; 2H; 2H-Perfluorodeyl triethoxysilane; FTOH; PFCA; APGC-MS MS; LC-MS MS;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to develop an analytical method for fluorinated silanes. Furthermore, as a secondary aim, to explore if there would be possible to detect 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl triethoxysilane (6:2 PTrEtSi) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl triethoxysilane (8:2 PTrEtSi) in two different matrices, sludge and cosmetic extract.
