Memb-CAP: A PFAS Treatment Train
An Istanbul Technical University research project combines electrospun nanofiber membranes with cold atmospheric plasma to capture and destroy PFAS in contaminated water.
Field notes
The project separates capture from destruction: electrospun membranes concentrate PFAS from dilute, complex water matrices before a closed spark-discharge reactor treats the smaller stream. The page specifies near-ambient operation, no added chemicals, and a multipin electrode arrangement intended to supply the energy density needed to attack carbon–fluorine bonds. Its updates document conference presentations and membrane experiments, including boron carbide–PAN work on PFOA removal.
