Kinetics of aqueous chlorination of some pharmaceuticals and their elimination from water matrices.
TLDR
Apparent rate constants for the reactions of four selected pharmaceutical compounds with chlorine in ultra-pure (UP) water were determined as a function of the pH, and the efficiency of the chlorination process with respect to the pharmaceuticals elimination and the formation THMs was established.About:
