ABSTRACT
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging contaminants. Compared with short-chain PFAS, long-chain PFAS are more hazardous. Currently, little attention has been paid to the differences in reaction mechanisms between long-chain and short-chain PFAS. This pressing concern has prompted studies about eliminating PFAS and revealing the mechanism difference. The reaction rate and reaction mechanism of each technology was focused on, including (1) adsorption, (2) ion exchange (IX), (3) membrane filtration, (4) advanced oxidation, (5) biotransformation, (6) novel functional material, and (7) other technologies (e.g. ecological remediation, hydrothermal treatment (HT), mechanochemical (MC) technology, micro/nanobubbles enhanced technology, and integrated technologies). The greatest reaction rate k of photocatalysis for long- and short-chain PFAS high up to 63.0 h-1 and 19.7 h-1, respectively. However, adsorption, membrane filtration, and novel functional material remediation were found less suitable or need higher operation demand for treating short-chain PFAS. Ecological remediation is more suitable for treating natural waterbody for its environmentally friendly and fair reaction rate. The other technologies all showed good application potential for both short- and long-chain PFAS, and it was more excellent for long-chain PFAS. The long-chain PFAS can be cleavaged into short-chain PFAS by C-chain broken, -CF2 elimination, nucleophilic substitution of F-, and HF elimination. Furthermore, the application of each type of technology was novelly designed; and suggestions for the future development of PFAS remediation technologies were proposed.
