Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a high-value chemical which has been widely used in the semiconductor industry. There is currently a lot of work focusing on the removal of low concentration of PFOA due to its potential toxicity, whereas the recovery of high concentration of PFOA from semiconductor...
