National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

The Reaction of Chlorine Dioxide with Triethylamine in Aqueous Solution.

Abstract	The work was done to understand more fully the reactions of chlorine dioxide with organic amine contaminants in water. As a model tertiary amine, triethylamine was chosen. Chlorine dioxide oxidizes the alpha-carbon of the amine and then cleaves the carbon-nitrogen bond, which is similar to other reactions between oxidants and tertiary amines. The principal reaction products are: acetaldehyde, diethylamine, chlorite ion, and hydrogen ion. The ions were produced nearly quantitatively in excess of the amine. When chlorine dioxide was in excess, it reacted with triethylamine in the ratio 2:1. The amine reacts only as a free base, as shown by the dependence of reaction kinetics on pH. The reaction is first order with respect to each reactant. The second-order rate constant, calculated with respect to concentrations of amine free base and chlorine dioxide, is approximately 200,000/M/sec at ambient temperature. There were no effects caused by changes in buffer concentration. Experiments were also performed with diethylamine, which reacted more slowly than triethylamine under comparable conditions. (Author)
