Electrochemical degradation using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes has been proven to be a promising technique for the treatment of water contaminated with per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Various studies have demonstrated that extent PFAS is influenced by composition samples electrochemical conditions. This study evaluated significance several factors, such as current density, initial concentration PFAS, electrolyte, time, their interactions on PFAS. A 24 factorial design...

The ubiquitous occurrence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) the detection unexplained extractable organofluorine (EOF) in drinking water have raised growing concerns. A recent study reported inorganic fluorinated anions German river systems, therefore, some samples, EOF may include anions. Thus, it might be more appropriate to use term "extractable fluorine (EF) analysis" instead analysis. In this study, tap samples (n = 39) from Shanghai were collected assess levels EF/EOF, 35...

The contamination of natural water and industrial wastewater with per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) occurs globally. Thus, proper technologies are required to reduce PFAS in the environment mitigate adverse effects these pollutants on human health environment. This study used a 23 full factorial design evaluate importance operating factors including level persulfate (PS), initial concentration PFAS, time photochemical degradation via ultraviolet irradiation at 185/254 nm assisted (PS/UV...

The design of buildings using multilayer constructions poses a challenge for fire safety and needs to be understood. Narrow air gaps cavities are common in many constructions, e.g. ventilated façade systems. In these construction systems flames can enter the spread on interior surfaces cavities. An experimental program was performed investigate influence cavity width flame heights, driven upward flow incident heat fluxes inner cavity. setup consisted two parallel facing non-combustible...

Electrochemical and ultraviolet-based methods are advanced oxidation processes emerging as viable water wastewater treatment options. In this study, a combination of these two (EO-UV) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes ultraviolet radiation at both 185 254 nm was assessed for the degradation poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) were used electrolytes. The method investigated on model solutions containing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)...

Approximately 80%–90% of all fire-related fatalities take place in residential occupancies. The risk groups are well known, but the effectiveness different measures has been less investigated. In this article, fire investigations from 144 unintentional fatal fires have systematically analyzed and technical that would effective preventing each fatality identified. result shows that, generally, a thermally activated suppression system (e.g. sprinkler) highest potential (68%) followed by...

Abstract Thermoregulating microcapsules (MC) with flame-retardant properties were used to produce polyurethane (PU) foams. Thermogravimetric analyses of the performed under atmospheric air and nitrogen confirmed that hexa(methacryloylethylenedioxy) cyclotriphosphazene (PNC-HEMA) monomer raised amount residue after exposure high temperature, proving formation a thermally stable char layer. Additionally, analyzed by micro-combustion calorimetry (MCC), PU foams tested both MCC cone calorimetry....
