TLDR
The kinetics of the reactions between Fe(II) and monochloramine in the presence of a variety of iron oxide surfaces are examined, finding differences in the activity of these oxides to result from variations in the amount of Fe( II) sorbed to each of the oxides and to dissimilarities in the surface site densities of the Oxides.
Abstract
The maintenance of monochloramine residuals in drinking water distribution systems is one technique often used to minimize microbial outbreaks and thereby maintain the safety of the water. Reactions between oxidizable species and monochloramine can however lead to undesirable losses in the disinfectant residual. Previous work has illustrated that the Fe(II) present within distribution systems is one type of oxidizable species that can exert a monochloramine demand. This paper extends this prior work by examining the kinetics of the reactions between Fe(II) and monochloramine in the presence of a variety of iron oxide surfaces. The identity of the iron oxide plays a significant role in the rate of these reactions. Surface area-normalized initial rate coefficients (kinit) obtained in the presence of each oxide at pH ≈6.9 exhibit the following trend in catalytic activity:  magnetite > goethite > hematite ≈ lepidocrocite > ferrihydrite. The differences in the activity of these oxides are hypothesized to resul...

Effects of Oxide Coating and Selected Cations on Nitrate Reduction by Iron Metal

TL;DR: Nitrate removal was most rapid at low pH (2-4); however, the formation of a black oxide film at pH 5 to 8 temporarily halted or slowed the reaction unless the system was augmented with Fe(2+), Cu( 2+), or Al(3+).
