Decomposition of perfluoro compounds (PFCs) has been successfully demonstrated using DC plasmas generated within oxygen bubbles in water. A plasma reactor was filled with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) solution (50 mL, 50 mg/L) and DC voltage was applied between the solution and an annular electrode. DC plasma initiated within the central hole of the electrode and slightly expanded along the inner surface of oxygen bubbles formed just above the hole. The typical values of the applied voltage and discharge current were 1.6 kV and 7 mA, respectively. The decomposition ratio of PFOA/PFOS was evaluated by measuring the concentration of fluorine ions (F) detached from the PFCs in the solution. The F formation ratio and energy efficiency after 30 minutes of operation were 17.4% and 61.0 mg/kWh, respectively, in the PFOA solution and 11.3% and 36.4 mg/kWh, respectively, in the PFOS solution. The recovery of fluorine from the treated solution was tested by adding 200 mg/L of CaCl2. On the basis of the reduction in concentration of calcium ions, we estimated the amount of formed CaF2 to be 17.7 mg/L after 30 minutes of operation at a discharge current of 10 mA.
