Researchers at the UFZ have developed an environmentally friendly, efficient process for removing short-chain PFAS from water. During this process, the PFAS are first separated and concentrated by electrosorption (Step 1) and then destroyed by electrooxidation (Step 2). The main byproducts are CO2 and fluoride.
