Activated Carbon-Catalyzed Degradation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Polar Aprotic Solvents.
The destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) poses a formidable global environmental challenge owing to their extreme persistence and resistance to degradation. Here, we report that commercial granular activated carbon (GAC) significantly accelerates the degradation kinetics of perfluorocarboxylic acid...
