Smoldering Treatment of PFAS: Investigation of Mass Balance and Volumetric Scale Up for Field Implementation Open
The chemical properties of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a significant remediation challenge. This study investigated smoldering combustion to destroy PFAS while scaling up from the lab to field implementation. …
