Kinetic study of the decomposition ofN-chloramines

Abstract: The decomposition of various N‐chloroalkylamines and N‐chloroalcoholamines was investigated kinetically at pH 4–12 and in strongly alkaline media. The rate of N‐chloramine decomposition increased with increasing pH above pH 10, remained virtually constant over the pH range 7–10 and again increased with decreasing pH in the acidic zone. The results are described by a rate equation involving general base catalysis terms. Experimental evidence suggests that the decomposition of N‐haloamines proceeds via an elimin… Show more

“…The N-chloramines obtained from aliphatic amines in a neutral medium are quite stable, increasing their decomposition rate in a strong acid medium or basic medium. [36][37][38][39] To select the suitable conditions for kinetic monitoring, a preliminary spectrophotometric study of all the reactants and of the reaction mixture was performed between 200 and 400 nm. The superposition of all of them allows us to justify that, upon mixing of the reactants, the formation of the N-chloro compound takes place.…”

“…The chloramines occupy a key position in the disinfection process because they are temporary reservoirs of disinfection capacity, both moderating and sometimes prolonging disinfection capability (3). They are also intermediates in reactions leading to undesirable byproducts such as cyanogen chloride, various nitriles, and aldehydes (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). They are suspected of facilitating slow halocarbon formation through hydrolysis and halogen transfer reactions (13).…”

“…N -Chloramines are versatile reagents, however, their availability is restricted by their stability, so useful would be in situ methods to produce and use them [ 1 2 ]. The continuous-flow methodology is useful in this context, enabling control over reaction exotherms and improved measures for containment.…”
