PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROCESSES FOR THE TREATMENT OF PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS): A REVIEW
Nzeribe, B.N., M. Crimi, S.M. Thagard, and T.M. Holsen.
Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology 49(10):866-915(2019)
Available physicochemical treatment techniques for PFAS were evaluated and compared to produce a comparative assessment based on effectiveness (extent of degradation and defluorination) and efficiency (rate, cost, and energy use). The review revealed that electrochemical oxidation, advanced reduction processes (ARPs) and plasma-based technology exhibited the best potential for overall process efficiency. Sonolysis and heat-activated persulfate had the highest energy demand, while photochemical oxidation was the most ineffective method.
