Editor’s note: On March 14, 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed new federal drinking water standards for six PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” These regulations, which are the ...

PFAS molecules have unique properties - they're both hydrophobic (water-fearing) and hydrophilic (water-loving). This dual nature causes them to naturally concentrate at air-water interfaces, like ...

The team's novel approach involves a pre-treatment process that significantly enhances the performance of existing GAC systems. By adding a chemical to the influent water that forms hydrophobic ...

NR: PFAS has hydrophobic and hydrophilic ends to it, which is how it gets separated in the air bubble. Then it floats off. We collect these, and this SAFF technology concentrates it a million to one.

The new infrastructure law contains $10 billion for cleaning up drinking water that has been contaminated by a specific group of man-made chemicals. But problems with "forever chemicals" go back ...

A research group led by Atsushi Noro at Nagoya University in Japan has announced a novel design concept for fuel cell ...

It’s raining chem. Toxic perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” have turned up in yet another remote corner of the environment: rainfall.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A supercapacitor-assisted electrophotocatalytic system enables efficient defluorination of PTFE and PFAS at low temperatures by combining electrochemical and ...

A 3D hybrid surface combining hydrophobic nanowires and hydrophilic microchannels efficiently removes condensate, preventing flooding and maintaining high heat transfer even at high subcooling.
