Reactivity of organic micropollutants with ozone: A kinetic study
- and others
Studies about the chemical reactivity of compounds widely used in the environment are needed. The chemical reactivity of triazines (simazine, atrazine, terbutylazine) and phenylureas (linuron and diuron) was studied. The kinetics of the oxidation of the triazines and phenylureas with ozone at pH 3 and the kinetics of the saturation of the solution with ozone were evaluated. These data may be useful for the prediction of the persistency of these compuonds in the environment and for the treatment of wastewaters contaminated with these compounds. The solution was presaturated with ozone before the addition of the substrate, and the reaction constants for the pseudo first order kinetics -d[substrate]/dt = k{sub app} [substrate] at 298{degree}K were obtained, assuming a steady state concentration of ozone of 1.91 10{sup -4} mol L{sup -1} for the phenylureas and of 3.03 10{sup -4} and L{sup -1} for the triazines. The data obtained were: atrazine k = 6.86 (L mol{sup -1}s{sup -1}); simazine: 9.26; t-butylazine 7.26; linuron 11.00; diuron 43.90. The activation parameters for the reaction of simazine were {Delta}H{sup =} = 9.35 kcal mol{sup -1} and {Delta}S{sup =} = -22.3 cal mol{sup -1} {degree}K{sup -1} and for the reaction of diuron were {Delta}H{sup =} = 16.83 Kcal mol{sup -1}, {Delta}S{sup =} = 5.696 cal mol{sup -1} {degree}K{sup -1}.
