TREATMENT TRAIN APPROACHES FOR THE REMEDIATION OF PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS): A CRITICAL REVIEW
Lu, D. S. Sha, J. Luo, Z. Huang, and J.X. Zhang.
Journal of Hazardous Materials 386:121963(2020)

New insight of recently reported treatment train studies selected from ~150 different publications with regards to the remediation of PFAS and their innovative designs, remediation performances, present limits, and possible improvements are discussed. Based on a comprehensive review of the current treatment train studies, this review work proposes a new design that consists of three individual technologies-nanofiltration, electrochemical anodic oxidation, and electro-Fenton degradation-to maximize economic and environmental benefits of PFAS remedial measures.
