BIOGRAPHY

George Hana works at Texas Tech University, focusing on process engineering, reaction engineering, and reactor design for PFAS thermal treatment and destruction. His work aims to optimise thermal treatment systems, enhance defluorination efficiency, and advance practical treatment technologies.

George has investigated PFAS thermal treatment from a reaction engineering perspective, examining how temperature, residence time, reactor materials, and chemical additives affect PFAS decomposition, defluorination, and byproduct formation. His research evaluates treatment under pyrolytic and oxidative conditions while establishing relationships between operating conditions and treatment performance.
