Chloramine Chemistry
We
have developed an analytical approach for the detection
and identification of the active chlorine species that result
from the reaction of peptide and protein amines with chlorine/hypochlorite.
This liquid chromatography/ flow injection method has been
used to determine the organic N-chloramines that result
from the chlorination of sewage wastewater. The effectiveness
of a series of new dechlorination agents has recently been
completed. In the future, we hope to develop new collaborative
projects to determine the reactivities and role of protein
chloramines in biological systems.
A preliminary
paper on our wastewater investigations has recently been
published: http://www.chemistry.org/portal/resources?id=feec0bf248ea11d7e6e36ed9fe800100
