  • Column chromatography approach to determine mobility of fluorotelomer sulfonates and polyfluoroalkyl Betaine (cas 107-43-7)s

  • Add time:08/23/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

    Betaine-based polyfluoroalkyl surfactants are major perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl surfactants (PFASs) found in many aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) impacted sites, while the transport behavior (i.e., mobility and adsorption) of PFAS-based betaines in groundwater and natural geosorbents interfaces remains unclear. To fill the knowledge gap, partitioning between of 15 AFFF-relevant PFASs, including 3 fluorotelomer sulfonates (FTSAs) and 3 polyfluoroalkyl betaines, and a model soil organic matter (SOM) were systematically assessed using a modified column chromatography approach. Results show that the retention of FTSAs (perfluoroalkyl chain-length of 4, 6, and 8) to SOM are similar to that of corresponding legacy perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs) with the same chain length; FTSAs also respond to changes in solution chemistry similarly as PFSAs. At a solution pH of 5.9, based on the equilibrium speciation of the betaine-PFASs together with the experimental observations, the predominance of the neutral species over zwitterions gives rise to the relatively higher retention of polyfluoroalkyl betaines than perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) of equivalent chain-length. Sorption edges (minimal and maximal logKoc values over a defined pH range) determined for three polyfluoroalkyl betaines are: 1.90–3.81 for perfluorooctaneamide betaine (PFOAB), 2.03–2.65 for perfluoroctane sulfonamide betaine (PFOSB), and < 3.04 for 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonamide betaine (6:2 FTAB). Moreover, the increase in pH reduces the sorption of all PFASs to SOM. Increasing calcium ion (concentration ranges from 0.5 to 50 mM) has enhanced the sorption of anionic PFASs to SOM but decreased the sorption of the polyfluoroalkyl betaines. These findings are expected to improve the ability to anticipate and predict the possible subsurface locations (i.e., predominantly in groundwater or sorbed to soil) of both novel and legacy PFASs.
