Abstract
This project aims to develop a low-cost, lab-based analytical system for real-time detection and quantification of total organic fluorine (TOF) and specific PFAS compounds in water. The main goal is to design a prototype boron-doped diamond (BDD) microfluidic reactor that connects to an ion chromatography (IC) system, enabling the analysis of PFAS. Existing techniques like liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) are selective, costly, and labor-intensive, often missing precursors and transformation products. This integrated approach combines PFAS separation and degradation in a single workflow, supporting real-time, quantitative analysis
