Several ppm levels of free chlorine in high chloride-containing water of no less than 0.20 M show remarkably high degradation rate constants toward carbamazepine (k CBZ′). Dichlorine monoxide (Cl2O) was identified to be responsible for the high k CBZ′. Cl2O degrades aromatic pollutants connected to more electron-donating functional groups faster when comparing k Cl2O to 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, bisphenol A, benzoic acid, and CBZ. However, its formation at low free chlorine levels in high chloride-containing water cannot be explained by our current knowledge. We proposed an alternative Cl2O formation mechanism, in which chloride transforms hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite (HOCl/ClO–) to dichlorine (Cl2) and polychloride monoanions (Cl n –), which then react with HOCl/ClO– to form Cl2O. Decreasing pH from 8.60 to 4.33 increases Cl2 concentrations and thus generates about 600× higher Cl2O concentrations. Weak acid anions, for example, phosphate and bicarbonate, are strong nucleophiles assisting the Cl2O hydrolysis, but their presence at the testing conditions does not much affect k CBZ′. The proposed alternative Cl2O formation mechanism reveals the roles of chloride in shifting the equilibrium toward the Cl2O formation, allowing the simple chlorine addition strategy to degrade recalcitrant organic pollutants in high chloride-containing wastewater. It may also change our understanding of the speciation of different free chlorine species and their impacts on the DBP formation in high chloride-containing wastewater.
We propose an alternative Cl2O formation mechanism, enabling a safe, low-cost, and practical strategy to form Cl2O to degrade recalcitrant organic pollutants in high chloride-containing wastewater.
