Reductive water treatment using hydrated electrons (eaq−) is a promising technology to destruct perfluoroalkyl substances; however, it faces challenges of slow reaction kinetics, undesirable chemical addition, and high energy consumption. Herein, we developed a hydrogen (H2)-polarized water photolysis system using vacuum UV (VUV) light at 185 nm for reductive destruction of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). The 185-nm photons directly photolyzed H2O and OH- into HO·, H·, and eaq−. H2 elevated the quasi steady-state concentration of eaq− 18 times in untuned VUV systems through eliminating the scavenging effect of dissolved oxygen and converting hydroxyl radicals (HO·/O·-) into eaq−. The polarization effect of H2 increased the degradation of PFOA from 10 % to 95 % and the defluorination from 17 % to 94 % and led to 87 % of defluorination for PFOS. The pH impacted VUV photon adsorption between H2O and OH- and shifted the equilibrium between H· and eaq−, which led to an optimal pH of 10.3 for PFOA destruction. The presence of chloride and sulfate enhanced the production of eaq− and promoted PFOA destruction. H2-polarized VUV water photolysis systems produced high levels of eaq− from clean water constituents and significantly reduced energy consumption for PFAS treatment under mild alkaline conditions. |
