High-Performance Treatment of PFAS from Investigation-Derived Waste: Integrating Advanced Oxidation-Reduction and Membrane Concentration

Abstract

This Limited Scope project aims at developing a cost-effective and practical treatment train for the decontamination of investigation-derived waste (IDW). The main target of treatment is the aqueous wastes that contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the use of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF). The destruction of PFAS is achieved by the application of the advanced reduction process (ARP) using hydrated electrons and the advanced oxidation process (AOP) using hydroxyl radicals. To ensure the efficient use of chemicals and energies, we combine nanofiltration (NF) to reduce the volume of IDW. The main objective of this project was to evaluate individual treatment modules and the combined treatment train.
