Call for Papers: Treatment Technologies for the Mitigation of PFAS in Water (Due Nov 1)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent a family of emerging organic water pollutants. Established water treatment processes poorly mitigate them from water in a cost- and energy-effective manner. Therefore, promising treatment processes and inventive engineering designs are urgently needed to efficiently address PFAS in different water matrixes, such as potable water, municipal and industrial wastewater water, reclaimed water, stormwater, and groundwater.
Water Environment Research is calling for submissions of original fundamental or applied research papers on technology advances in the removal of PFAS in different water matrixes. Critical review articles are also welcome to provide summaries and far-sighted prospects on emerging physical-chemical or biological PFAS treatment processes with the potential application for the water industry.
Topics for this call for papers include but not restricted to:
- Destructive or non-destructive physical-chemical treatment processes for removal of PFAS in water and wastewater
- Biological processes for removal of PFAS in water and wastewater
- Innovative PFAS remediation technologies for groundwater cleanup
- Fate and transport of PFAS in stormwater infrastructure
- Evaluation of PFAS removal in full-scale water and wastewater treatment facilities
