Abstract

Ceric(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) in aqueous medium acts as an excellent precipitating agent for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). The Ce(IV) center plays a crucial role. Interestingly, Ce(III) chloride showed much less effectiveness under similar conditions. The efficacy of CAN was reduced upon changing the substrate to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
