Stream 7c: PFAS – Remediation
- Landfill Disposal Considerations for Solid Waste Containing PFAS in the Absence of PFAS Waste Management Regulations in Canada
- Overview of Thermal Treatment Effectiveness to Mineralize PFAS – What We Know and What Needs to be Investigated
- Treating PFAS-contaminated Water and Soil – Developing Advanced and Robust Treatment Techniques
Landfill Disposal Considerations for Solid Waste Containing PFAS in the Absence of PFAS Waste Management Regulations in Canada
Matt Pourabadehei, SNC Lavalin Environment and Geosciences
The objective of this presentation is to summarize current understanding of PFAS fate and transformation in Canadian landfills and review available regulations in other jurisdictions internationally, as well as summarize recommended considerations for PFAS solid waste owners, prior to transporting the PFAS wastes to landfills.
Overview of Thermal Treatment Effectiveness to Mineralize PFAS – What We Know and What Needs to be Investigated
Matt Pourabadehei, SNC Lavalin Environment and Geosciences
The objective of this presentation is to highlight the current understanding of thermal treatment capabilities to desorb certain regulated PFAA from solid phase and shed light on the less understood mineralization mechanism of residual organo-fluorine compounds in fugitive gases generated during the thermal treatment process.

The objective of this presentation is to show the effectiveness of a multi-stage treatment chain for treating PFAS. The performance at each step and its beneficial impact on subsequent processes will be discussed. In addition, there will be a discussion on abating co contaminants that are specifically associated with federal sites such as military bases, as well as on their impacts on treatment performance.
