1. Sorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated water using sustainable organic- and inorganic materials
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of anthropogenic compounds with unique properties, including chemical inertness, resistance to many degradation processes and amphiphilic structure. This makes them useful in a range of applications, but also very persistent and bioaccumulative in nature, where PFAS have been linked to adverse health effects in both animals and humans. READ MORE

2. 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 teknikAbstract : 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

4. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) Removal from Landfill Leachate : Efficiency Evaluation in Column Experiments
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are known for their wide spread in the environment, their persistent properties and their ability of biomagnification through the food chain. With properties such as oil and water repellence, temperature resistance and a long lifespan they have been frequently used in various areas, e.g. READ MORE

5. Adsorption of anionic elements to steel slag
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Steel slag is a by-product from steel production and has potential to act as a sorbent for several contaminants. Contaminated water is a global problem and cheap and simple remediation solutions are often sought. The potentials are many to use an industrial residue for water purification purposes e.g. READ MORE
