    Keywords : PFAS; PFOS; PFOA; thermal degradation; sewage sludge; PFAS; PFOS; PFOA; termisk nedbrytning; avloppsslam;

    Abstract : Per- och Polyfluorerade alkylsubstanser (PFAS) är syntetiskt framställda organiska föreningar som har använts i stor utsträckning i konsument- och industriprodukter. PFAS-substanser besitter attraktiva egenskaper såsom resistans mot väta, fett, fläckar och är dessutom värmetåliga. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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).

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated water by sorption to pine- and spruce bark

    Abstract : PFAS are anthropogenic substances used in many different industrial operations and products because of their unique properties. Due to their negative impact on human health and environmental bioaccumulative characteristics different authorities have addressed the issue. In Sweden the limit is4 ng/L for four different PFAS in drinking water. READ MORE
