Engineered Sorbents and Process for Selective Removal of Perfluorinated Organics Species from Water
This technology represents a new chemical process for selective removal of greater than 90% of the PFAS from contaminated water per pass through a sorption stage. The separation media comprises a selective surface modifier, with tunable properties, incorporated on an inexpensive material, which may be a cellulose sponge, fiber, or powder.
Background:
Perfluorinated...

Remediation of 3-Nitro-1,2,4-Triazol-5-One (NTO Explosives) in Water
This technology is a pretreatment step that will aid in the degradation of aromatic compounds with nitro substituents (explosives, TNT, plasticizers, dinitroluene). It involves the injection of an inexpensive reducing agent that results in reduction of one or more of the contaminant’s nitro groups to amines rendering the contaminant more susceptible...
