Modern water treatment demands highly selective adsorbents to combat complex PFAS contamination. By leveraging dual-action molecular cavities, these stable polymers provide rapid kinetics, resist organic fouling, and support sustainable regeneration for superior environmental remediation.

DEXSORB is a regenerable adsorbent media offering a cradle-to-grave solution in per- and polyfl uoroalkyl substances (PFAS) treatment. Effective desorption of PFAS from spent media is not only a critical step for enabling sustainable media reuse, but also for concentrating PFAS waste for its safe and cost-effective destruction.

DEXSORB is a novel adsorbent made from crosslinked β-cyclodextrin polymers. The media features uniform 0.78 nm hydrophobic cavities that selectively adsorb organic contaminants in the 150 – 1000 Dalton molecular weight range. DEXSORB is available in two formulations to adsorb (A) PFAS exclusively, or (B) PFAS + organic micropollutants (OMPs) in combination. While DEXSORB and GAC operate by the same mechanism of adsorption, and share similar physiochemical properties, DEXSORB possesses multiple properties that provide for superior PFAS removal and waste handling.
