Electrochemical Destruction of Perfluorooctanesulfonate in Electroplating Wastewaters: AESF Research Project #R-120, 6th Quarterly Report
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project focuses on an electrochemical, destructive treatment strategy for the remediation of relevant PFASs in electroplating wastewater, using a cost-effective reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) for the removal of PFAS. Work this 6th quarter focused on the electrochemical oxidation of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using a tubular Magnéli phase titanium sub-oxide (Ti4O7) reactive electrochemical membrane (REM).
