Remediation of PFAS contaminated soils using a novel soil washing approach: the role of PFAS ageing on desorption and bioavailability in the soil KU Leuven
Membrane Separations, Adsorption, Catalysis, and Spectroscopy for Sustainable Solutions (cMACS), Soil and Water Management
Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have become the focus of attention as persistent environmental contaminants. Current solutions, e.g. isolation or high-temperature treatment, leave the pollution in place or are not applicable at a large scale. A new all-silica Beta zeolite (KU Leuven), an outstanding PFAS adsorbent, could be used to treat contaminated soils by soil washing and concentrating PFAS on the zeolite. The first objective of ...
