  • Publication number: 20240382939
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a degradation method of a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). The degradation method includes the following steps: polymerizing indole to synthesize pind; and mixing synthesized pind with the PFAS to form a mixed solution, and illuminating the formed mixed solution to allow pind to generate hydrated electrons (eaq?) for degrading the PFAS. In the degradation method of the present disclosure, indole with a high yield of hydrated electrons is polymerized to generate pind, and pind is used as a precursor for the generation of the hydrated electrons to increase the stability of a molecular structure of pind through a highly conjugated structure formed after polymerization, thereby achieving the purpose of continuously generating the hydrated electrons under ultraviolet irradiation and effectively degrading PFASs, which is of great significance for addressing the environmental pollution problem of PFASs.

  • Publication number: 20240382930
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a polyindole-montmorillonite (Pind-mmt) complex and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method includes the following steps: subjecting mmt to cation saturation using ferric chloride, to prepare ferric ion-exchanged montmorillonite (Fe3+-mmt); and formulating an indole aqueous solution; adding Fe3+-mmt to the indole aqueous solution to enable indole molecules to generate Pind at mmt interlayer by in-situ polymerization, and obtaining a Pind-mmt complex body; and subjecting the Pind-mmt complex body to organic modification with quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant to obtain the Pind-mmt complex.

  • Patent number: 9896350
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of degradation of persistent pollutants and discloses a method for efficiently degrading a perfluorinated compound (PFC), through which the problems of harsh reaction conditions and less high defluorination rate existing in prior-art methods for degrading PFCs are solved. In the present disclosure, a 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) solution is irradiated with 254 nm UV light to generate hydrated electrons, with which the PFC are degraded by reduction under an aerobic condition, where an organo-modified montmorillonite is added to provide a reaction microzone, so the degradation and defluorination effects of the hydrated electrons for the PFC are greatly improved.
