Summary
A research team proposed scaling a plasma‑film reactor to decompose short‑chain PFAS — compounds that resist conventional filtration — and to test for toxic byproducts, presenting preliminary NSF‑funded results.
A University of Minnesota engineering team told the LCCMR on June 27 that it is seeking money to scale and demonstrate a reactor technology for removing short‑chain per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water.
Peter Broderman, a faculty plasma engineer, described short‑chain PFAS (often six carbons or fewer) as harder to remove than…
