Article Synopsis
- Ion exchange (IX) is a key technology for removing PFAS from water, but the resulting waste (spent brine and still bottoms) requires further treatment due to concentrated PFAS.
- This research shows that PFAS can be effectively degraded using sonochemistry at 1000 kHz, although factors like high total organic carbon (TOC) and residual methanol can hinder this process.
- Adding caustic solutions helps improve degradation efficiency, and this study is the first to report the successful sonochemical degradation of PFAS from IX regeneration wastes, suggesting potential for broader application in PFAS treatment.
