Knowing the mass flux is critical for engineering a successful PRB treatment approach, whether it be for PFAS or any other contaminant class.

The team built several prototypes, with one, three, and 10 stages, and tested their performance in water of varying salinity, including natural seawater and water that was seven times saltier.

Chlorinated solvent usage at a former printing facility in Orange County, California (Figure 1) contaminated the soil, soil vapor, and groundwater with tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE).

Silver cluster-assembled materials (SCAMs) are emerging light-emitting materials with molecular designability and unique properties.

GA-EMS’ iSCWO system processes organic waste with water in an extremely high temperature (650F) and high pressure (4000 psi) environment to efficiently destroy both PFAS and other hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

Microbiology professor Mary Beth Leigh and the team found that planting grasses or adding fertilizer, or a combination of both, to a contaminated site had surprisingly persistent effects on the microbes associated with local vegetation.

A new solid, colloidal organic material (AquiFix) markedly improves remedial outcomes for in situ (i.e., in place) bio-barrier treatments designed to stop migrating CVOC plumes.

MIT Joint Program researchers are continuing to develop the STRESS platform as an “open-science tool” that welcomes input from academics, researchers, industry and the general public.

A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has managed to purify water containing uranium using a special kind of bacteria known as magnetotactic bacteria.

"This work may be pertinent to water quality issues both locally and globally," says Benjamin Shindel, a Ph.D. student in Germany. "We want to see this out in the world, where it can make a real impact."
