Résumé

Perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) is a class of anionic surfactants with superior stability in the environment. Due to the harmful health effect, PFASs have been listed as the priority controlled pollutants. Our recent study had developed a cationic surfactant induced ternary self-assembled micelle system to effectively degrade PFASs. In this study, using perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as the model pollutant, we further investigated the effects of different variables on the degradation processes. According to the results of laser flash photolysis and dynamic light scattering, the degradation of PFOA was positively correlated with the chain length of the surfactants. While for double-chain surfactant, the steric effect might hinder the reaction. Our results also indicated that in the presence of high concentration of NaCl, the electrostatic attraction between Cl
