Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are manmade chemicals which has been extensively used, resulting in great potential for human and environmental accumulation due to high persistence. PFASs can be divided to two parts, terminal and precursor compounds, based on how many fluorine atoms link to the carbon bonds. Many studies have examined the removal ability of method including activated carbon (AC), Foam fractionation (FF), chemical oxidation and boron-doped diamond anodes (BBD). This paper focus on introducing advanced remedial technology for PFAS treatment from landfill leachate. The details about PFASs are introduced, including the chemical structure, source, and properties. Then, different types of PFASs from landfill leachate are demonstrated. Some of PFAS, especially short-chain, are prone to stay as liquid phase. Activated carbon, a great model of adsorption, shows excellent performance on removal of PFOS and PFOA. In addition, boron-doped diamond anodes technique which belongs to the electrochemical anodic oxidation, have a great potential on landfill leachate in the future. Last but not least, the conclusion makes a summary and shows possible treatment to landfill in the future.
