Abstract Eight granular activated carbons (GACs) and one alternative adsorbent (AA) were evaluated using rapid small‐scale column tests (RSSCTs) to remove low level per‐ polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from several groundwaters. Results suggested variability among waters for adsorbents reach breakthrough. Time breakthrough appeared be inversely proportional the background dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Bituminous GACs (particularly F400 UC1240LD) more effective than non‐bituminous. The...
Abstract An expanding list of states have established enforceable drinking water regulations and/or advisories for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid. Additionally, many state extend to shorter chain per‐ polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) compounds not currently addressed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This current work presents batch equilibrium continuous column (rapid small‐scale test) bench‐scale experiments conducted on sources...
