Notes
Reviews the literature specifically on thermal regeneration of PFAS-laden granular activated carbon. Concludes that "...thermal regeneration of GAC remarkably encourages decomposition of GenX and PFBA, even at low temperatures... whereas PFOA and PFOS require higher temperatures for >99% decomposition."
