overview | perfluorocarboxylate (Perfluoroalkylcarboxylates,PFCAs) such as undecanoic acid is a kind of perfluoroalkyl anionic surfactant, which is a linear molecule, one end is composed of hydrophobic and oleophobic carbon-fluorine chain, and the other end is hydrophilic carboxyl group. Due to the characteristics of amphoteric molecules and carbon-fluorine bonds, perfluorocarboxylate has the characteristics of low surface tension, outstanding chemical stability and thermal stability, and is widely used in industrial production. |
recycling | at present, there are few methods for direct recycling of perfluorocarboxylate, mainly focusing on the recycling of ammonium perfluorooctanoate. among them, nanofiltration membrane recycling method is mainly used, but nanofiltration membrane has poor treatment effect on perfluorobutyric acid, perfluoropentanoic acid, undecanoic acid, perfluoroheptanoic acid, etc, even for perfluorooctanoic acid, perfluoronanoic acid and perfluorodecanoic acid with larger molecular weight, there is still a certain amount of perfluorocarboxylate residue in the wastewater after nanofiltration treatment. |
recovery method | recovery of undecanoic acid in wastewater using modified ferric oxide. |
