Preliminary Considerations for Electrochemical PFOS Detection in Oily Wastewater
Abstract
The potential presence of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOS) in oily wastewaters presents disposal challenges since the chemical is becoming highly regulated. Current methods for PFOS analysis are not conducive to field measurements and cannot be completed in a timely manner. Thus, environmental managers at shore facilities face difficulties in managing the growing volume of potentially impacted oily wastewaters. We present here an approach to pretreat a sample with electrocoagulation in order to provide for electrochemical concentration determination of PFOS. A review of the state of the art in oily wastewater treatment by electrocoagulation and electrochemical PFOS determination is presented here along with results from initial electrocoagulation experiments.
