It was also observed that at salt concentrations above 100 mM for Na+, above 10 mM for K+ and Mg2+ but between 0.1 and 10 mM for Ca2+ in the presence of greater than 4 ppm of SDS, the cations can complex with the SDS in the system and suppress foam formation due to the surfactant precipitation. Foam fractionation was able to remove perfluorohexane sulphonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulphonic acid (PFOS) from a sample of Australian groundwater to below the analytical detection limit of 0.1 ppb within 60 min with SDS being used as the co-foaming agent, but was unable to remove the short chain perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA).]]> Tue 02 Jul 2024 14:29:32 AEST ]]> Degradation of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using ultrasonication: Effect of reactor materials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55780 Sat 22 Jun 2024 12:39:26 AEST ]]>
