Surface functionalization of coconut-shell-derived activated carbon with amine and surfactant groups for selective short-chain PFAS removal

Short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose an increasingly urgent water treatment challenge, as regulatory transitions away from long-chain compounds have accelerated the occurrence of short-chain substitutes that resist adsorption on conventional activated carbon. Here, we engineer the surface chemist...
