Elimination of perfluorinated organic compounds in drinking water treatment

---

Aims of the project: The aims of this project are (a) a proven technology of perfluorinated organic compounds’ (PFCs) removal during water treatment by optimizing the coagulation/flocculation processes, (b) a summary research report on the removal efficiency of PFCs by coagulation/flocculation and laboratory tests with selected sorbents, (c) a scale-up model of a drinking water treatment plant with coagulation/flocculation and adsorption technologies for PFCs removal, (d) a proven technology of employing fish at the drinking water treatment plant as passive samplers of longterm exposition/bioaccumulation of PFCs, (e) a summary research report describing results achieved by the scale-up model and evaluation of the level of PFCs contamination in different sources of drinking water in the Czech Republic.
