Sorption and partitioning of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) onto sediments of Diep and Plankenburg river systems Western Cape, South Africa

B. O. Fagbayigbo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the partitioning behavior of PFOA and PFOS in sediment samples from river systems. The results showed that the sediments had high sorption capacities for PFOA and PFOS, with the sorption increasing over time. Lower pH values and increasing ionic strength favored the sorption and partitioning of PFAS onto sediments in aqueous solution. This study provides important data and scientific knowledge for understanding the fate and sorption of PFAS in aquatic systems.

Tributary Loading and Sediment Desorption as Sources of PFAS to Receiving Waters

Sarah Balgooyen et al.

Summary: In this study, the transport of PFAS to Green Bay of Lake Michigan via tributaries was investigated. Tributary discharge was found to play a major role in the contribution of PFAS to receiving waters. The composition of PFAS in tributaries was linked to likely sources such as chemical manufacturers, industrial activities, and airports. Additionally, it was discovered that tributary sediments can contribute to PFAS transport through desorption.

Assessing the Ecological Risks of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Current State-of-the Science and a Proposed Path Forward

Gerald T. Ankley et al.

Summary: PFAS are a group of chemicals of potential concern to human health and the environment. Data on risks in either prospective or retrospective assessments are lacking for most PFAS. Cross-disciplinary approaches are needed to assess the ecological risk of PFAS.

Enhanced sorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate by hydrotalcites

Virginia Alonso-de-Linaje et al.

Summary: Hydrotalcite compounds intercalated with nitrate and carbonate ions showed improved sorption properties towards PFOS and PFOA, with acetone treatment further enhancing their performance. Sorption equilibrium was reached faster with PFOS compared to PFOA, and PFOS exhibited higher sorption capacity. Anion exchange and surface adsorption played key roles in the sorption process, with carbonate ions hindering anion exchange. Non-ionic species did not affect sorption capacity, while alkaline pH conditions and other anionic species reduced sorption capacity towards PFOS and PFOA. Overall, acetone-treated hydrotalcite compounds outperformed activated carbon sorbents in terms of sorption kinetics and capacities for PFOS and PFOA removal.
