Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present application relates to a novel method for reductive degradation of perfluoroalkyl-containing compounds, such as perfluoroalkyl sulfonates, by activated carbon (AC) supported zero valent iron-nickle nanoparticles (nNi 0 Fe 0 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A catalyst composition comprising zero valent iron (Fe 0 ) nanoparticles with surface coated by zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ), and active carbon powders, wherein said zero valent iron (Fe 0 ) nanoparticles coated by zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ) are supported by said active carbon powders, wherein said active carbon powders comprise active carbon nanoparticles. 2. The catalyst composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight percentage of the zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ) is 0.5% to 5.0% of the total weight of zero valent iron (Fe 0 ) and zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ). 3. The catalyst composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight percentage of the zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ) is 1% to 3% of the total weight of zero valent iron (Fe 0 ) and zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ). 4. The catalyst composition of claim 1 , wherein weight percentage of active carbon powders is 5% to 20% of total weight of zero valent iron (Fe 0 ), zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ), and active carbon powders. 5. The catalyst composition of claim 1 , wherein zero valent nickel (Ni 0 ) is plated onto surface of zero valent iron (Fe 0 ) nanoparticles. 6. The catalyst composition of claim 1 , wherein zero valent iron (Fe 0 ) nanoparticles comprise particles with size distribution from 20 nm to 70 nm.
