(A) Bars represent
mean hydrated electron scavenging capacities
(k′S) without and with 1 g/L of
particles during UV/sulfite treatment calculated with eq 11 (left y-axis).
Error bars represent the propagated standard error. Red circular markers
represent the steady-state hydrated electron concentration ([eaq–]ss) for each system estimated
from PFBA kinetic data and bimolecular rate constant using eq 10 (right y-axis). (B) Ratio of hydrated electron scavenging capacities of particle
exposed samples (k′s,Particle)
over no particle controls (k′s,No Particles). The solid colored bars (Particle suspensions) represent the k′s,Particle/k′s,No Particles ratio for each particle suspension shown
in part (A). The striped colored bars (Dissolved species-filtered
water) represent the estimated k′s,Particle/k′s,No Particles ratio of
dissolved species from the filtered water of the UV/sulfite exposed
suspensions discussed in Text S5. Error
bars represent the propagated standard error.
