PFAS chemicals do not last forever

The use of sulfite and iodide under ultraviolet light can destroy PFAS in water in a few hours


Once dubbed ¡°forever chemicals,¡± per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, might be in the market for a new nickname.


That¡¯s because adding iodide to a water treatment reactor that uses ultraviolet (UV) light and sulfite destroys up to 90% of carbon-fluorine atoms in PFAS forever chemicals in just a few hours, reports a new study led by environmental engineering researchers at UC Riverside. The addition of iodide accelerates the speed of the reaction up to four times, saving energy and chemicals.  


¡°Iodide is really doing some substantial work,¡± said corresponding author Jinyong Liu, an assistant professor of chemical and environmental engineering. ¡°Not only does it speed up the reaction but it also allows the treatment of a ten times higher concentrations of PFAS, even some very recalcitrant structures.¡± 


Liu¡¯s lab has been working on ways to destroy PFAS through photochemical reactions since 2017. The new method has already attracted interest from industry and Liu¡¯s group is partnering with companies to conduct pilot tests. 


Synthetic chemicals known as PFAS contain multiple very strong carbon-fluorine bonds. Widespread use of these nonbiodegradable compounds in countless products since the 1940s has contaminated water supplies across America, with various negative health effects on human and animals. Because the carbon-fluorine bond is very hard to break, PFAS pass through most water treatment systems unchanged. 


Photochemical degradation by UV light and sulfite (SO32−) is, to date, one the most effective ways to break PFAS down. The original process used a lot of electricity because the chemical reactions occurred slowly. It also left multiple carbon-fluorine bonds remaining in the degradation products, with unknown health effects. 


Last year, the researchers reported that oxidation treatments before and after the UV/sulfite treatment can achieve almost 100% destruction of carbon-fluorine bonds in various major PFAS pollutants. 


In the new work, the researchers added iodide to the UV/sulfite system to treat a particularly stubborn four-carbon PFAS molecule called perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), which degrades poorly in the original UV/sulfite setting. The iodide accelerated the reaction and completely removed PFBS within 24 hours. 


As expected, the UV/sulfite+iodide system also degraded other PFAS, such as the frequently reported eight-carbon PFOA and PFOS, with ease. The addition of iodide also enabled the system to destroy concentrated PFAS in brine solution, which is a practical challenge for groundwater remediation. Ion-exchange systems are used to clean the groundwater, but the PFAS chemicals captured in the resin need to be washed out and destroyed in a cost-effective way.  


The paper, ¡°Accelerated degradation of perfluorosulfonates and perfluorocarboxylates by UV/sulfite + iodide: reaction mechanisms and system efficiencies,¡± is published in Environmental Science & Technology and available here. The first author, Zekun Liu, is a doctoral student at UC Riverside.
