Bromine-photosensitized degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been decomposed photochemically by using manganese dioxide (MnO2) as oxidant, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as solvent, and bromine (Br2) as photocatalyst, to produce several smaller organofluorine compounds, and ultimately a yield of up to 4% of the...
