Small-Scale Thermal Treatment of Investigation-Derived Wastes (IDW) Containing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Abstract

The focus of this project was to help develop better understanding of PFAS fate associated with lower temperature (below 600 C) thermal treatment approaches. This included an effort to assess the potential benefit of Ca(OH)2 amendments for lowering PFAS decomposition temperatures and off-gassing of volatile organic fluorine (VOF) species. A variety of thermal decomposition products were examined, including fluroride mineralized from the PFAS, sulfur oxyanions, and VOF species that evolved.
