Electrochemical Treatment of PFAS in Fractionated Foam from Soil Remediation

Andrea Luca Tasca's dataset on figshare, last updated April 23, 2026, investigates electrochemical degradation of PFAS in concentrated foam from soil washing. The 671.3 KB DOCX file contains concentration profiles for C4-C8 perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSAs), 6:2 FTS, and C4-C8 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) during treatment. The study reports a ~68% reduction in total PFAS content within the first 10 minutes of electrochemical processing.

Use Cases

• Modeling PFAS degradation kinetics based on applied current density and flowrate variables mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the generation of short-chain intermediates like PFCAs during electrochemical treatment described in the study
• Evaluating the effect of organic matter content on PFAS removal efficiency as assessed in the synthetic solution experiments
• Benchmarking reactor performance for PFAS contact with electrode surface, a key challenge noted in the description

Strengths

• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.
• Description provides a specific quantitative result: a ~68% reduction in total PFAS content within 10 minutes.
• The study investigates multiple PFAS compounds, including C4-C8 PFSAs, 6:2 FTS, and C4-C8 PFCAs.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (671.3 KB), indicating limited scope or a primary document format rather than a large raw data table.
