초록보기

 GenX, the ammonium salt of hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA), has also been of concern not only because it also turned out to be distributed extensively in the aquatic system, but recent studies have implied that GenX could be potentially toxic to organisms in the system. Plasma system combining with catalyst can be beneficial for GenX degradation thanks to highly reactive species generated in the bulk through the system. In this study, GenX was degraded using argon (Ar) jet plasma with pristine bismuth oxide / cerium oxide composite (Bi₂O₃/CeO₂, 'CBO') and various ratios of ruthenium (Ru)-doped CBO as plasma-catalysts. Plasma-catalysis with 0.1% Ru-doped CBO achieved 74% degradation of GenX in 30 min, showing a significant synergistic effect (synergy factor: 1.7) compared to plasma (53%). Material characterizations indicated that Ru doping enhances the (120) facet of Bi₂O₃ and increases the electron density and oxygen vacancy (Ov) on CBO. PL and TRPL analyses suggested that the Ru doping leads to the introduction of Ov, thereby lowering the recombination. The contribution of reactive species revealed that hydroxyl radical (·OH) and singlet oxygen (¹O₂) is important to degrade GenX in both plasma and plasma-catalysis. Notably, it was confirmed that ¹O₂ formation on the catalyst surface is crucial to the overall ·OH production in the plasma-catalysis, leading to the synergistic effect. The energy consumption of plasma coupled with catalysis were found to be nearly twice as efficient as the sole plasma process, endorsing the economic feasibility of the synergistic effect in GenX degradation. Therefore, this study provides valuable insights into the role of ¹O₂ in achieving the synergistic effect and proves the economic feasibility of utilizing the plasmacatalysis for the degradation of GenX.
