1. 1. Is two stage GAC better than one stage GAC for removing PFAS at a DWTP? : Investigation of PFAS removal from drinking water using two stage granular activated carbon (GAC) filter

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Oliver Ekesiöö; [2023]
   Keywords : GAC; PFAS; drinking water treatment; two stage GAC;

   Abstract : The removal of 34 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were compared in a 1 stagegranular activated carbon (GAC) filtration to a 2 stage GAC filtration in a pilot study at adrinking water treatment plant (DWTP). The PFASs that were present in the water wereperfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluoropentanoic acid(PFPeA), perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA), perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS), perfluoropentane sulfonic acid (PFPeS) and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid(PFHxS).

3. 2. Yearly distribution and composition of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Luleå wastewater treatment plant

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

   Author : Moa Sjöberg; [2023]
   Keywords : PFAS; WWTP; Wastewater treatment; Consumer products; Precursors;

   Abstract : PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of substances that are used in a large variety of products because of their unique water and dirt repellent properties. The substances are extremely persistent and can spread over large distances in groundwater, surface water, and in the air, which makes them an environmental and a health concern. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluation of in-situ technology performance and decision analysis by combining economic and environmental impact analysis for a case study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Elham Tamadonyazdian; [2023]
   Keywords : Stabilization; Dredging; Solidification; Cement mixtures; Binders; In-situ technology; Environmental impact categories; Life cycle assessment LCA ; Economic analysis; Life cycle costing LCC ; Global Warming Potential GWP ; Acidification Potential AP ; Eutrophication Potential EP ; Ozone Layer Depletion Potential ODP ; Single-Point Rate SPR .; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In the contemporary global context, the global focus on reducing environmental impacts in any formats has intensified. This study intends to assess the environmental impacts and life cycle costs associated with the A1-A5 stages (production and construction stages) of the Köping Port project and eight additional proposed scenarios.

5. 4. The Potential of Dissolved Air Flotation for PFAS Reduction in Norrvatten's Future Waterworks

   University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

   Author : Madeleine Vikström; [2023]
   Keywords : PFAS4; drinking water production; dissolved air flotation; granular activated carbon filter; sludge management; PFAS4; dricksvattenproduktion; flotation; granulärt aktivt kolfilter; slamhantering;

   Abstract : Norrvatten är en av Sveriges största dricksvattenproducenter. Med ett ökande behov av en större produktionskapacitet och nya regleringar, planerar dem att förbättra sin reningsprocess. En aspekt som kräver omfattande undersökning är val av reningsmetod för att nå den nya gränsen från Livsmedelsverket för fyra PFAS kemikalier. READ MORE

6. 5. Application of electrodes with redox mechanisms for the desalination of water

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Pablo Moreno Cerezo; [2023]
   Keywords : Activated Carbon Cloth ACC ; Capacitive Deionization CDI ; Cyclic Voltammetry CV ; Electrochemistry; Polyaniline PANI ; Prussian Blue PB and Redox Reactions; Aktivt koltyg ACC ; Kapacitiv avjonisering CDI ; Cyklisk voltammetri CV ; Elektrokemi; Polyanilin PANI ; Preussisk blå PB och Redoxreaktioner;

   Abstract : Capacitive deionization is a promising technology for purification and desalination of brackish water with great advantages over current technologies due to its low operating cost and high-water recovery ratio. Most of the system studied relies on the adsorption/desorption capacity of activated carbon electrodes due to its high surface area. READ MORE
