Poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and 1, 4-dioxane are persistent emerging
contaminants that are currently under consideration for federal and state-specific regulations
in drinking water. Both PFAS and 1, 4-dioxane are highly resistant to degradation and are
not effectively removed by conventional drinking water treatment systems. Results from the
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3 survey showed that> 540 sites across the
nation are contaminated with both PFAS and 1, 4-dioxane. Hence, there is a need to identify …

Fermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA) operates Fermilab under contract with the US
Department of Energy and has patents on technologies and applications of a novel mobile
electron beam accelerator. A high-power version of this mobile accelerator based on FRA-
developed SRF technology is under development at Illinois Accelerator Research Center
(IARC) and can enable several new applications that have significant commercial potential.
One such application is the e-beam treatment of persistent emerging contaminants in …
