Abstract

The formation of CNBr appears to be a complex reaction in sequential disinfection treatment of drinking water with O₃ and NH₂Cl. Many parallel and cross-linked pathways may lead to the formation of CNBr. In simplified system containing HCHO, NH₂Cl and Br the formations of CNBr and CNCl are competitive processes. High Br favors the formation of CNBr through reactions between HCHO and bromamines, CN^- and bromamines, CN^- and HOBr. NHClBr may also react with HCHO, in a similar way NHBr₂ does, to form CNBr. Hydrolysis reactions in the pH range of 6 to 8 used in this study were found to be negligible over 24 hours period.
