Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for degrading perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and belongs to the field of degradation of persistent pollutants. According to the present invention, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), indoleacetic acid (IAA) and PFCs are mixed to form compact self-assembled micelles, and the self-assembled micelles are illuminated, so that PFCs are rapidly degraded and defluorinated in the micelles, thereby realizing the degradation of PFCs by using a novel self-assembled micelle system and improving the degradation efficiency of PFCs.

Claims (9)

1. A method for degrading perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), comprising the following steps:

S10: uniformly mixing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), indoleacetic acid (IAA) and PFCs to obtain ternary mixed self-assembled micelles; and

S20: illuminating the ternary mixed self-assembled micelles obtained in step S10 by a high-voltage mercury lamp to implement photoreaction to degrade PFCs.

2. The method for degrading PFCs according to claim 1 , wherein in step S10, the concentration ratio of IAA to CTAB is 1:(0.055-1.4).

3. The method for degrading PFCs according to claim 1 , wherein in step S10, the concentration ratio of PFCs to IAA is 1:(40-42).

4. The method for degrading PFCs according to claim 1 , wherein the process of step S10 comprises: mixing CTAB, IAA and PFCs at a concentration ratio of 1.4:1:0.024 and stirring for 5-15 min at the speed of 400-600 rmp to obtain a solution of ternary mixed self-assembled micelle.

5. The method for degrading PFCs according to claim 1 , wherein the process of step S20 comprises: charging the solution of ternary mixed self-assembled micelle obtained in step S10 into a photoreactor, adjusting the pH of the solution to 5-7, and then turning on a high-voltage mercury lamp to illuminate the solution of ternary mixed self-assembled micelle to implement photoreaction to degrade PFCs.

6. The method for degrading PFCs according to claim 5 , wherein the high-voltage mercury lamp is a mercury lamp with a power of 500 W.

7. The method for degrading PFCs according to claim 5 , wherein the photoreaction is performed at 20-30° C. for 2-3 h.
