Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent organic chemicals found in numerous industrial applications and everyday products. The excessive amounts of PFASs in water and soil, together with their link to severe health issues, have prompted substantial public concerns, making their removal from the environment a necessity. Existing degradation techniques are frequently lacking due to their low efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and potential for secondary contamination. Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) technology has emerged as a promising alternative, utilizing energized reactive species to break down PFASs under ambient conditions. Therefore, this review examines the efficacy and effectiveness of CAP in degrading PFASs by reviewing various CAP setups and examining the key factors involved. This review also aims to further the development of CAP as a viable solution for PFAS degradation by addressing outstanding challenges and future directions in soil and water treatment.

低温大气等离子体（CAP）在水和土壤中降解全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）的研究进展

全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质（PFASs）是在许多工业应用和日常产品中发现的持久性有机化学品。水和土壤中全氟辛烷含量过高，再加上它们与严重健康问题的联系，引起了公众的极大关注，因此必须将它们从环境中清除。现有的降解技术由于效率低、成本效益低和可能造成二次污染而经常缺乏。冷大气等离子体（CAP）技术是一种很有前途的替代技术，它利用带电的反应物质在环境条件下分解PFASs。因此，本文通过回顾各种CAP设置和检查所涉及的关键因素来研究CAP在降解PFASs方面的功效和有效性。本综述还旨在通过解决土壤和水处理中的突出挑战和未来方向，进一步发展CAP作为PFAS降解的可行解决方案。
