Low-temperature thermal treatment of pfas-contaminated wastes

Patent published on the 2026-05-07 in WO under Ref WO2026096525 by UNIV NOTRE DAME DU LAC [US] (Doudrick Kyle [us])

Abstract: Thermal treatment is an approach for the end-of-life treatment or regeneration of material contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). However, its effectiveness has been limited by the requirement for high temperatures (> 1000 °C), the generation of fluorinated products of incomplete destruction, and the necessity to scrub hydrofluoric acid in the flue gas. The subject technology utilizes common alkali and/or alkaline-earth metal reagents to enhance the mineralization of PFAS[...]


Our summary: Low-temperature thermal treatment effectively addresses PFAS contamination in waste. It utilizes alkali and alkaline-earth metal reagents to enhance mineralization. This process reduces harmful byproducts and hydrofluoric acid emissions.

How Important Is Solid Phase PFAS Release from Legacy Coastal Landfills to the Water Environment?

Published on 2026-02-02 by William M. Mayes, Sebastian J. Pitman, Alex L. Riley, Patrick A. Byrne, Ashley Lily, Adam P. Jarvis, Karen A. Hudson-Edwards, Ian T. Burke @MDPI

Abstract: Historical landfills in coastal environments are at increasing risk of erosion under changing climate conditions. Various studies have highlighted pollutant release associated with potentially toxic elements and flame retardants from such erosional processes, but there has been little focus on per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) release as a result of physical erosion at such sites, despite landfills being highlighted as a key source of PFAS to the water environment. This study presents a[...]


Our summary: This study assesses PFAS release from historical coastal landfills under erosion. It highlights modest concentrations of PFAS in solid materials from older and more recent landfill sites. The aggregated flux of PFAS from multiple eroding landfills could significantly impact transitional and coastal waters.
