The article reports that a Swiss start-up company, Oxyle, has developed a promising technology to address the challenge of removing per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) from the environment more effectively and economically. PFAS have contaminated water sources around the world. Existing remediation methods, such as adsorption and incineration, are limited because they either simply transfer the contamination or are energy-intensive and potentially ineffective. Oxyle's approach uses nanoparticles to oxidize and break down PFAS into harmless components. Oxyle has demonstrated the effectiveness and cost savings of its technology in a pilot project with Swiss chemical company CIMO, achieving significant PFAS removal with much lower energy consumption. https://lnkd.in/dbTqts2k

4moBreaking down PFAS into Harmless Components....Pray tell Chemists and Organic Chemists out in Linked In Land Exactly which Fluorine bonded compounds are Harmless to the Human Population? If you breakdown the PFAS molecules to the Fluorine constituents, you can end up with HF, Hydrofluoric Acid, all those very "harmless" fluorine chemicals. Fluorine being the most electronegative element on the periodic table...can create a witches brew with anything it binds with, Prove me Wong.
