Researchers from NITech have proposed a new approach to traditional defluorination of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and other polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that does not require extreme temperature conditions, reduces toxic gas emissions and energy consumption and enables efficient recovery and circulation of fluorine as a resource.
