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 goal, Boodoo says, was to bind a PFAS molecule’s hydrophobic tail more strongly, along with binding to the hydrophilic head of the molecule, which standard ion-exchange resins can already do.

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.

PFAS chemicals (per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances), also known as forever chemicals, are rarely out of the news at the moment. The latest concern about this chemical group is their presence in ...

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 ...
