Webinar - PFAS Treatment: Challenges, Limitations and Opportunities

This event is now passed and available on-demand. Please register and you will receive a dedicated link to watch the webinar

Despite significant development efforts, PFAS treatment processes such as adsorbents and membrane technologies remain best available technologies for PFAS treatment applications. The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of studied and implemented PFAS treatment processes, their application towards various PFAS treatment scenarios, and recent efforts to improve their cost-effectiveness. Case studies from recent research projects will also be presented.

Our Speaker

Dr Christopher Bellona,
Colorado School of Mines

Dr. Bellona is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. His area of expertise is in the removal of contaminants by physico-chemical treatment processes for a variety of applications including water and wastewater treatment, potable water reuse, and treatment of unconventional water resources. His recent research projects haven been funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, National Science Foundation, Water Research Foundation and private industry. His research projects include evaluating technologies for the removal of PFAS including adsorbents (activated carbon, ion-exchange, novel materials), membranes (nanofiltration and reverse osmosis), and destructive methods (plasma, UV-based reductive processes). He has published more than 50 peer-reviewed publications and presented numerous times at national and international conferences on his research.
