Abstract
Previously published data on chlorine demand exertion in three different effluents was reanalyzed using various rational kinetic models. A satisfactory fit to the data was obtained by using a parallel first-order decay model that assumes a rapid and slowly decaying chlorine fraction. The slowly decaying fraction appears to correspond to chloramine decay kinetics. The chemical form responsible for the rapidly decaying component of chlorine residual is unknown. Approximately 10 to 40% of the chlorine decays with a rate constant of approximately 1/min; the remaining residual decays with a rate constant of approximately 0.003/min.
