PFAS destruction may soon get a major energy-saving upgrade — using the same technology that heats your lunch.
Researchers supported by The Water Research Foundation have discovered that microwaves can regenerate activated carbon and destroy PFAS at a fraction of the energy needed for incineration.
The team is now exploring how large-scale microwave systems could be installed directly at drinking water facilities, turning an everyday technology into a powerful tool for clean water innovation, says Peter Grevatt.
