Development of an on-site electrochemical regeneration method of activated carbon filters for PFAS removal

RESEARCH GOALS

The primary focus of this research is to optimize the desorption
of a broad spectrum of PFAS, covering various chain lengths and
functional head groups. Key areas of investigation include the
interactions between PFAS molecules and electrically charged
carbon surfaces, and the possibility to remove (ultra) short-chain
PFAS. This research will also evaluate diverse operational conditions,
water matrices, and reactor configurations. The development of an
on-site regeneration technology provides a sustainable approach
for PFAS removal.
