Surface Modification of Graphene Oxide for Fast Removal of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Mixtures from River Water.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) make up a diverse group of industrially derived organic chemicals that are of significant concern due to their detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems. Although other technologies are available for removing PFAS, adsorption remains a viable and effective method. Accordingly, the current study reported a novel type of graphene oxide (GO)-based adsorbent and tested their removal performance toward removing PFAS from water.
