New carbon-based materials can remove dangerous “eternal chemicals” from the water

Membrane distillation methods can effectively reduce PFAS concentrations by affecting water purification. Credit: Science Tokyo A diverse group of synthetic chemicals, Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) are commonly used in numerous products, including semiconductors, fire-steamed foam, heat-resistant, and non-adhesive cooking utensils. PFAs have a prominent resistance to heat, oil, grease, and water due to strong chemical bonds between atoms. However,…
