Carbon/MnO2 composites including graphene/MnO2 and CNT/MnO2 were synthesized to treat perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) for the first time. Owing to the fast self-dispersion of carbon/MnO2 particles with H2O2 as the fuel, large solid surface area provided by carbon materials, and the effective simultaneous generation of center dot OH and O-2(center dot-), high PFOA degradation and defluorination efficiencies were achieved synchronously within 15 min. Interestingly, different (OH)-O-center dot scavengers showed opposite effects on PFOA degradation. The inhibition of PFOA degradation by nitrobenzene was due to the scavenging of (OH)-O-center dot resulting in the restraint of O-2(center dot)- generation. While the increasing PFOA degradation efficiency with the addition of high concentration of isopropanol and tert-butyl alcohol was due to the less polarity of them than water resulting in the higher reactivity of O-2(center dot-). Conclusively, the study provided a new alternative for the effective treatment of PFOA.
