Best liquid trapping fluid for PFAS and related compounds?

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

What is the characteristic length to determine the Reynolds number for the scattered turbulent fluid flow?

Dear all, I just saw this example in FB on the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow. The flow from a pipe hits the sink and scattered. The flow from the pipe is characterized as...

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, since it's not a pure liquid, exactly, although it would be free of PFAS: in my work, I've seen that activated carbon works very well at sorbing PFAS with high efficiency. I'm also aware that there are several manufacturers who produce activated carbon dispersions. Bubbling PFAS containing gas through the liquid dispersion should transfer organics to the suspended particles, which could later be desorbed or quantified.

Another method that I'm aware of is ion transfer, but may not be suitable based on your problem description.

Eric, thank you very much for this suggestion! I will look at this as well as some resin-type liquids.

Best,
