Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), legacy chemicals used in firefighting and the manufacturing of many industrial and consumer goods, are widely found in groundwater resources, along with other regulated compounds, such as chlorinated solvents. Due to their strong C–F bonds, these molecules are extremely recalcitrant, requiring advanced treatment methods for effective remediation, with hydrated electrons shown to be able to defluorinated these compounds.
The growth of mineral crystals on surfaces is a challenge across multiple industrial processes. Membrane-based desalination processes, in particular, are plagued by crystal growth (known as scaling), which restricts the flow of water through the membrane, can cause membrane wetting in membrane distillation, and can lead to the physical destruction of the membrane material.
