Using piezoelectric mechanochemistry for solvent-free, nonthermal defluorination of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contained in carbon-based sorbents
We present an alternative ball milling system coupling BN, as catalyst, with activated carbon as a pre-concentration medium to destroy higher amounts of PFAS more efficiently.
