Article Abstract
The conspicuous surface activity and exceptional chemical stability of perfluorooctanoic acid, commonly referred to as PFOA, have led to its extensive utilization across a broad spectrum of industrial and commercial products. Nonetheless, significant concerns have arisen regarding the environmental presence of PFOAs, driven by their recognized persistence, bioaccumulative nature, and potential human health risks. In the realm of sustainable agriculture, a pivotal challenge revolves around the development of specialized materials capable of effectively and selectively eliminating PFOA from the environment. This study proposes harnessing the exceptional properties of a pillar[5]arene polymer to construct a nanochannel membrane filled with tryptophan-alanine dipeptide pillar[5]arene polymer. Through the functionalization of these nanochannel membranes, we achieved a PFOA removal rate of 0.01 mmol L min, surpassing the rates observed with other control chemicals by a factor of 4.5-15. The research on PFOA removal materials has been boosted because of the creation of this highly selective PFOA removal membrane.

This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and performance of nanoscale zero-valent iron/reduced graphene oxide (nZVI/rGO) nanohybrids for the efficient removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The magnetic nanohybrids were fabricated using an innovative thermal co-reduction method, enabling scalable production under inert conditions. Comprehensive characterization confirmed successful integration of nZVI onto rGO sheets, and nanohybrids exhibited high surface area, strong magnetic properties, and effective adsorption and photocatalytic degradation capabilities for PFAS.

The ubiquitous distribution of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in wastewater poses significant challenges for wastewater treatment systems, yet its impact on granular sludge systems remains poorly understood. This study investigated the performance of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and algal-bacterial granular sludge (ABGS) systems in terms of stability, nutrient and PFOA removal, enzyme activity, and microbial communities under PFOA stress. Both systems demonstrated tolerance and adsorptive removal of PFOA with enhanced total nitrogen (TN) and slightly decreased total phosphorus (TP) removals.

Perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) are emerging organic pollutants posing a threat to human health and the environment. This study investigates the efficacy of polyethyleneimine-modified biochar (BC-PEI) as an adsorbent for removing PFCAs from a mixed solute system, focusing on competitive adsorption among PFCAs with varying chain lengths. It includes perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), hexafluoropropylene-oxide-dimer-acid (GenX), and perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA).

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic fluorinated organic compounds linked to severe health issues, highlighting the urgent need for environmentally sustainable remediation strategies. Here, an integrated PFAS sorption and utilization strategy for remediation is reported through incorporating into rechargeable aqueous zinc battery systems at room temperature. As a representative PFAS compound, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is successfully sorbed on zinc surface via hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, with over 98% removal efficiency, and partially defluorinated into zinc fluoride after 24 h, enabling their application as an anode protective layer for improved battery performance.
