Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to the fate of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances during wastewater treatment, also known as "forever chemicals" due to their very high persistence in the environment. First, their exceptional physicochemical properties are examined to derive their value for industrial applications, their adverse effects on human and environmental health, and starting points for technologies to remove or eliminate them from water. Second, the sources and occurrences of PFAS in the aquatic environment are also presented summarizing the regulatory framework within the European Union. Third, removal technologies are presented and discussed including conventional wastewater treatment as well as established and emerging advanced technologies to remove PFAS from wastewater effluents. At the end, a summary and outlook are provided.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology reviews actual trends in modern biotechnology. Its aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where knowledge, methods and expertise are required for chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Special volumes are dedicated to selected topics which focus on new biotechnological products and new processes for their synthesis and purification. They give the state-of-the-art of a topic in a comprehensive way thus being a valuable source for the next 3 - 5 years. It also discusses new discoveries and applications.
