Recent advances in activated carbon driven PFAS removal: structure-adsorption relationship and new adsorption mechanisms
State Key Joint Laboratory of Environment Simulation and Pollution Control · Tsinghua University
Abstract
Abstract Highly persistent per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have been extensively used worldwide for decades and are now ubiquitous in the ecosystem. To combat problems related to PFAS accumulation in the environment and their intrusion into the human body, PFAS adsorption and subsequent breakdown of carbon and fluorine chains are under intense research. Activated carbon (AC) is a widely used adsorbent for PFAS removal from water or wastewater. However, some of its shortcomings include inefficiency in short-chain PFAS removal, a lack of selectivity, overall low adsorption performance, and concerns regarding economic sustainability. Herein, we reviewed the recent innovative carbon-based…
