Advanced Sorbent Adsorption Techniques for PFAS Removal in Water and Soil

Abstract

This research looks at the enhanced use of sorbent adsorption to eliminate PFAS present in water and ground in water and ground up substances. Activated carbon, functionalized polymers, nanomaterials and biochar were examined in batch and column studies under different conditions. The outcomes reveal that the activated carbon and functionalized polymers possess higher adsorption capacities and recyclability feature; on the other hand, biochar can be a sustainable option for large-scale removal of pollutants. Concentration changes over time, adsorption isotherms and desorption and effects of pH and temperature were examined. In practical applications, the investigation points to selection of sorbent material, optimization of an experimental setup, and an aspect of regeneration as critical for the efficient removal of PFASs.
