• Hello. The title of my abstract is PFAS destruction using an advanced reduction process. PFAS has been detected in hundreds of military bases in the United States investigating and remediating PFAS at these sites represent a significant liability for the Department of Defense. Currently, the most widely applied method for treating PFAS-contaminated water are separation technologies including ex situ granular activated carbon, IX resin and from fluctuations. Although these separation technologies have been demonstrated effective to a certain extent in removing PFAS, each process also generates one or more residual or concentrated waste that needs further treatment. So cost effectively reliable disruptive technology is needed to destroy PFAS in such ways and remove them from the environment. An innovative technology that has been recently developed to destroy PFAS using an advanced reductive process. This technology is primarily based on hydrated electrons that are generated in a ultraviolet sulfide or UV sulfite system . Hydro electron is a strong reductor and has been demonstrated effective in breaking down carbon fluorine bonds and destroying PFAS. This technology development has been supported with the funding received from DOD applied research programs such as SERDP, ESTCP, and the programs. Laboratory studies have been completed and the pilot-scale destruction treatment system are constructed and the two field demonstration are being planned. So in this presentation, I will share with you some of the results from both the laboratory study and the reactor testing and potential field-scale application. Thank you.
