摘要
An investigation of the decomposition of dihaloacetonitriles (DHANs) in water solutions and fortified drinking water samples was conducted. The concentrations of dichloroacetonitrile (CHCl2CN, DCAN), bromochloroacetonitrile (CHBrClCN, BCAN) and dibromoacetonitrile (CHBr2CN, DBAN) were determined by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method at regular time intervals and different temperatures. The effect of sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3), which is used as a preservative in water samples, was also examined. The rates of decomposition were determined for each compound. The results show that the reactions are faster in fortified drinking water samples than in ultrapure water solutions. They are also favored at higher temperature, especially when sodium thiosulfate is present. The highest decomposition rate is shown by DCAN, followed by BCAN and DBAN, while at the presence of sodium thiosulfate the decomposition of DBAN is the fastest. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
