Abstract

A systematic series of industrial-relevant polystyrene-based anion exchange resins that are functionalized with hydro- or fluorocarbon chains are compared regarding their adsorption behavior toward perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCA) in respect to their charge, chain length, and type of chain. The results clearly show the dominance of electrostatic interactions in the adsorption process as uncharged adsorber materials showed no adsorption at all. In contrast, the charged adsorber materials showed in general a PFCA removal of 80% to 30% over the experiment depending on effluent fraction. Unexpectedly, for perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) the highest removal rate is found with consistently >90%. Despite observing significant benefits in the adsorption of PFCA for fluoroalkylated adsorbers in comparison to their non-fluorinated counterparts, this effect of fluoroalkylation is comparatively small and can not be clearly attributed to fluorophilic interactions between the fluoroalkyl chains. These findings help clarifying that the introduction of fluorocarbon moieties in adsorber materials is not necessary in order to remove fluorocarbon molecules from the environment.

在影响聚苯乙烯树脂对全氟辛烷磺酸的吸附方面，吸附剂电荷比疏水或亲氟官能度更重要

本研究比较了一系列与工业相关的聚苯乙烯基阴离子交换树脂，这些树脂具有功能化的碳氢链或碳氟化合物链，它们对全氟羧酸（PFCA）的吸附行为与电荷、链长和链类型有关。结果清楚地表明，静电作用在吸附过程中占主导地位，因为不带电的吸附剂材料根本没有吸附作用。相反，带电吸附剂材料在实验中对全氟甲烷的去除率一般在 80% 到 30% 之间，具体取决于流出物的馏分。出乎意料的是，全氟丁酸（PFBA）的去除率最高，一直达到 90%。尽管与未氟化的吸附剂相比，氟烷基化吸附剂对全氟辛酸的吸附效果显著，但氟烷基化的影响相对较小，不能明确归因于氟烷基链之间的亲氟相互作用。这些发现有助于说明，在吸附剂材料中引入碳氟化合物分子并不是从环境中去除碳氟化合物分子的必要条件。
