The US Forest Service in partnership with the US Biochar Initiative and the Southern Regional Extension Forestry presented its latest Biochar Webinar titled: "Biochar-based system for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from recycled water." on December 12, 2024 11AM Eastern.
Biochar is an effective and low-cost adsorbent for PFAS molecules, and it could be used for reducing their environmental mobility. Dr. Ramos will present her research work findings about biochar properties optimization by characterization of feedstocks, pyrolysis temperature, and post-production modification to maximize PFAS retention
This month's speaker was Dr Pia Ramos
