Photochemical degradation of PFOA was greatly accelerated by soluble Fe3+under irradiation of 254 nm UV light. When the concentration of Fe3+ was kept at 30 μmol•L-1, Fe2(SO4)3, FeCl3 and Fe (NO3)3 had no obvious difference in accelerating the degradation and defluorination of PFOA. Sulphate ion () exhibits stronger potential than chloride (Cl) to coordinate with Fe3+. According to the calculation results with Visual MINTEQ 2.52, when excessive was added ([]total/[Fe3+]total=50∶1, pH=3.69), about 16.32% of total ferric ion existed in the form of Fe(SO4)and Fe(SO4), which reduced the probability of Fe3+ coordination with PFOA and correspondingly inhibited the photochemical degradation of PFOA. While only 0.12% of total Fe3+ complexed with Cl when excessive Cl was added, which had little impact on the degradation of PFOA. Theoretical calculations were consistent with the experimental results. The addition of hydroxyl radical scavenger (isopropanol) did not substantially decrease the degradation of PFOA and the presence of TiO2 did not increase the degradation of PFOA, which further indicated that the photochemical degradation of PFOA induced by Fe3+ did not abide by oxidation mechanism of hydroxyl radical.
