A New Concept of "Release-Capture-Destruction" to Enable Remediation of PFAS in Source Zone Soils

Abstract

The overarching goal of this project was to develop an integrated treatment system for the effective treatment of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-laden soils in source zones. Specifically, this project aimed to test the treatment strategy that was based on the "Release Capture-Destruction" concept. The technical objectives were to determine factors affecting biodegradation of soil-bound precursors, to accelerate biodegradation of precursors in soil via bioaugmentation, to determine the efficiency of PFAS removal by magnetic activated carbon(MAC) in soil, and to assess whether hydrothermal alkaline treatment (HALT-PFAS) technology can destroy PFAS in the spent MAC.
