Abstract

"Oxidation of seventeen antibiotics with free chlorine and monochloramine was studied in laboratory and surface water to determine the oxidation kinetics and efficiencies of removal in a typical drinking water disinfection atmosphere. Antibiotic degradation was ascertained by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry preceded by solid phase extraction...A kinetic model was developed and validated for sulfonamides that incorporated the effects of oxidant and antibiotic speciation on reaction kinetics"--Abstract, page iv.
