摘要: Concentration and salinity conditions are the dominant environmental factors affecting behavior of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) on surfaces a variety solid matrices (suspended particles, sediments, natural minerals). However, mechanism has not yet been examined at molecular scales. Here, structural transformation perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) water/rutile interfaces induced by changes concentration level PFOS salt condition was investigated using dynamics (MD) simulations. At low intermediate concentrations all molecules directly interacted with rutile (110) surface mainly headgroups through electrostatic attraction, yielding typical monolayer structure. As increased, aggregated in complex multi-layered structure, where an irregular assembling configuration adsorbed structure van der Waals interactions between perfluoroalkyl chains. When adding CaCl2 to system, changed again, indicating that addition enhanced critical value yield multilayer assemblies. The divalent Ca2+ substituted for monovalent K+ as bridging counterion adsorption. MD simulation may trigger wide applications study from atomic/molecular scale.
