Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was efficiently decomposed at Ti/SnO2-Sb anode via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. PFOA degradation followed both pseudo-zero-order (0-30 min) and pseudo-first-order (30-120 min) kinetics. The pseudo-first-order kinetics constant could increase to 0.0484 min-1 (3.84 times higher than that without PMS) during
