Highlights

​​

  • Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests (RSSCTs) effectively evaluate PFAS adsorption.​

  • RSSCTs accurately predict scaling for full-scale applications.

  • Advanced empirical models enhance system design efficiency and reliability.

  • Modern grinding techniques clarify particle size effects in RSSCTs.

  • Operational parameters significantly influence PFAS removal in RSSCTs.
