Assessing the Potential of Activated Bauxite Residue (ABR) to Remove PFAS in the Water Column
DownloadFall 2024
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) belong to a group of synthetic organic compounds characterized by the substitution of at least one hydrogen atom with fluorine and the presence of other functional groups. Their high thermal and chemical stability makes PFAS resistant to removal and...
