Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental functional materials, specifically to a biomass dry gel, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known for their excellent thermal stability, chemical inertness, and surface activity in industrial production and consumer products. However, they have attracted significant global attention due to their widespread detection in aquatic environments, their bioaccumulation potential, and the associated health hazards. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and phasing out of long-chain PFAS (C≥6), the application of short-chain (C4-C6) and ultra-short-chain (C1-C3) PFAS alternatives is rapidly increasing. These substances are more water-soluble, have higher environmental mobility, and can form as degradation byproducts of long-chain PFAS in environmental matrices or during wastewater treatment, thus persisting in surface water and groundwater systems.

[0003] Granular activated carbon (GAC) is currently the most widely used commercial adsorbent, exhibiting excellent adsorption performance for long-chain PFAS. However, due to the reduced hydrophobicity and smaller molecular size of short-chain and ultrashort-chain PFAS, the microporous structure of GAC has limited affinity and adsorption capacity for these substances. Although ion exchange resins and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) outperform GAC in some applications, each material has significant limitations: ion exchange resins have poor resistance to interference in complex aqueous matrices due to competition from coexisting ions; while MOFs face challenges such as high synthesis costs, poor stability in water, reliance on non-renewable precursors, and difficulty in scaling up production. Therefore, designing novel adsorbent materials that combine tunable functionality, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness to achieve efficient capture of persistent short-chain and ultrashort-chain PFAS has become an urgent priority.
