Abstract

- A new reductive method for PFOA defluorination was established by sulfite-mediated photolysis.
- The defluorination of PFOA was dependent on sulfite concentration and solution pH.
- A defluorination ratio of PFOA as high as 88.5% was achieved after reaction of 24 h.
- A few of perfluorinated sulfonates were detected as intermediates during the degradation of PFOA.
- A mechanism was proposed for the reductive defluorination of PFOA by hydrated electrons.
