Description

Efficient Removing Fluorinated Pollution from Complex Contaminated Matrices. This project aims to work with Chemours and qldwater to develop a magnetic ion-exchange technology capable of removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or forever chemicals, from complex sources. PFAS contamination is a significant health and environmental issue in Australia, yet current remediation methods are often limited, particularly when co-contaminants are present. This project seeks to address these challenges by creating a robust PFAS removal technology tailored for complex water matrices. Expected outcomes include an integrated solution with proven technical, economic, and environmental benefits. This innovative approach will contribute to a PFAS-free future, safeguarding Australia’s environment and public health.. Scheme: Mid-Career Industry Fellowships.
