Analysis of perand poly fl uoroalkyl substances (PFAS) extraction from contaminated fi re fi ghting materials: Effects of cleaning agent, temperature, and chain-length dependencies
EMERGING CONTAMINANTS(2024)
摘要
This investigation delves into the extraction dynamics of 22 perand polyfluoroalkyl substances from PFAS contaminated firefighting materials. Two distinct test sets were executed: one contrasting a commercial product with water following an elaborate decontamination procedure, and the other assessing seven washing agents on materials from firefighting installations, with one agent examined at 22 degrees C and 50 degrees C. A general tendency for improved desorption at the higher temperature was observed. Furthermore, a discernible influence of the cleaning agent's pH on the extraction of specific PFAS species was observed, elucidating the role of chemical environment in the extraction process. PFAS rebound was studied for a period of up to 157 days, this unveiled a gradual escalation in PFAS 22 levels, indicative of a protracted desorption mechanism. Intriguingly, PFAS with abbreviated carbon chains (C4 eC6) exhibit superior desorption efficiency compared to their elongated congeners, suggesting a chain-lengthdependent decontamination potential. A comparative scrutiny between a commercially available cleaning product, featuring multiple washing and flushing steps, and a water-only treatment regimen underscores the potential efficacy of the former. This exhaustive investigation furnishes nuanced insights into PFAS extraction complexities, offering a foundation for informed decontamination strategies. (c) 2024 The Authors.
