紫外線(UV)と亜硫酸塩を使用する水処理リアクターにヨウ化物を加えると、PFAS(永久化学物質)に含まれる炭素-フッ素原子の最大90%がわずか数時間で破壊されることが、カリフォルニア大学リバーサイド校の環境工学研究者が率いる新しい研究で明らかになった。ヨウ化物を加えることで反応速度が4倍まで加速され、エネルギーと化学物質を節約することができます。

PFAS化学物質は永遠ではない(PFAS chemicals do not last forever)

Abstract

The addition of iodide (I) in the UV/sulfite system (UV/S) significantly accelerated the reductive degradation of perfluorosulfonates (PFSAs, CnF2n+1SO3) and perfluorocarboxylates (PFCAs, CnF2n+1COO). Using the highly recalcitrant perfluorobutane sulfonate (C4F9SO3) as a probe, we optimized the UV/sulfite + iodide system (UV/S + I) to degrade n = 1–7 PFCAs and n = 4, 6, 8 PFSAs. In general, the kinetics of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) decay, defluorination, and transformation product formations in UV/S + I were up to three times faster than those in UV/S. Both systems achieve a similar maximum defluorination. The enhanced reaction rates and optimized photoreactor settings lowered the EE/O for PFCA degradation below 1.5 kW h m–3. The relatively high quantum yield of eaq from I made the availability of hydrated electrons (eaq) in UV/S + I and UV/I two times greater than that in UV/S. Meanwhile, the rapid scavenging of reactive iodine species by SO32– made the lifetime of eaq in UV/S + I eight times longer than that in UV/I. The addition of I also substantially enhanced SO32– utilization in treating concentrated PFAS. The optimized UV/S + I system achieved >99.7% removal of most PFSAs and PFCAs and >90% overall defluorination in a synthetic solution of concentrated PFAS mixtures and NaCl. We extended the discussion over molecular transformation mechanisms, development of PFAS degradation technologies, and the fate of iodine species.
