Problems solved by technology

Although the adsorption method can effectively degrade PFCs, it is more dangerous to use the incineration method as the main follow-up treatment method, and improper treatment will cause secondary pollution; the thermochemical method requires high temperatures above 1000C, and has higher requirements for equipment; the sonochemical method can also Effectively degrade PFOS and PFOA, but the reaction conditions are harsh, how to control the concentration of interfacial bubbles is the key factor; in the photochemical method, 185nm vacuum ultraviolet light can effectively degrade PFOA, while 254nm ultraviolet light has almost no degradation effect
[0006] Photochemical method is widely used to degrade organic matter because of its special superior performance, but the commonly used photocatalytic oxidation method based on titanium dioxide photocatalyst cannot effectively degrade PFOA and PFOS, the reason is that this method mainly relies on free hydroxyl radicals to degrade organic matter, but hydroxyl radicals cannot replace fluorine in perfluorinated compounds or add to perfluorinated compounds to trigger the decomposition of perfluorinated compounds

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for degrading perfluorinated compounds, comprising the following steps: under the oxygen-free condition, belta-Ga2O3 is adopted as a photocatalyst. Ultraviolet with the wavelength of 185-254nm is used for irradiating the perfluorinated compounds to be degraded. The method for degrading the perfluorinated compounds has the advantages that: the technique has a simple structure and can be implemented under normal temperature and normal pressure without complex equipment; the initial concentration of the perfluorinated compounds is not required, and the perfluorinated compounds with any concentration and any pH value can be processed by the method of the invention; the toxicity of degraded products is lowered, and the products can be further processed by other methods.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for degrading perfluorinated substituted compounds. Background technique [0002] Perfluorinated compounds (Perfluorinated Compounds, PFCs) refer to compounds in which the hydrogen (H) connected to the carbon atom (C) in the organic structure is replaced by fluorine (F). Due to the high electronegativity of fluorine, the structure of such compounds is extremely stable and difficult to be degraded. Especially perfluorooctanoic acid (Perfluorooctanoic acid, PFOA, C 7 f 15 COOH) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (Perfluorooctane sulfonate, PFOS, C 8 f 17 SO 3 - ) as a representative of perfluorinated substituted compounds, it is difficult to degrade them by traditional treatment techniques. [0003] Perfluorinated substituted compounds have been used since the 1950s and are widely used in industrial and consumer goods industries, including protective coatings for fabrics and carpets, paper coatings, insecticide compone...
