Rate laws and kinetic modeling of N-ethyl perfluorooctane sulfonamidoethanol (N-EtFOSE) transformation by hydroxyl radical in aqueous solution

The degradation of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) by hydroxyl radical ((·)OH) follows complex pathways resulting in stable products. Kinetic models are needed to predict the product distribution of (·)OH-initiated PFC degradation under environmental and treatment conditions. The bimolecular rate const…
