Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly referred to as PFAS, are emerging contaminants of growing concern. Many industrial manufacturers that currently use, or have used these chemicals in the past, are being required to treat their effluent water for these contaminants. What’s more, legacy PFAS sources in the environment is being addressed nowadays.
Recent test of activated carbon has proven that activated carbon is an effective technology for reducing PFAS compounds from water, including:
Perfluorobutanoic Acid (PFBA)
Perfluoropentanoic Acid (PFPA)
Perfluorohexanoic Acid (PFHxA)
Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHtA)
Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)
Perfluorodeconaoic Acid (PFDA)
