title: Kinetics of aniline oxidation with chlorine dioxide.
abstract: For the first time, kinetics of aniline oxidation with chlorine dioxide (ClO2) were investigated systematically by detecting concentration of aniline with HPLC at regular intervals. Results showed that the reaction was first-order both in ClO2 and in aniline, and the oxidation reaction could be described as second-order reaction. Stoichiometric factor eta was experimentally determined to be 2.44. The second-order-reaction rate constant k was 0.11 L/(mol x s) under condition of pH 6.86 and water temperature (Tw) 287K. Reaction activation energy was 72.31 kJ/mol, indicating that the reaction could take place under usual water treatment conditions. The reaction rate constants in acidic and alkali media were greater than that in neutral medium. Chlorite ion could slightly increase reaction rate in acidic medium. p-aminophenol and azobenzene were detected by GC-MS as intermediates.
