Abstract

After having established in a previous paper that the synthesis of stoichiometric monochloramine is hazardous due to the high exothermicity of the reaction and the risk of decomposition of the solution from 36 °C, it appeared that the best solution for this synthesis is to use microreactor technology. A series of experiments carried out using a Doehlert experimental design provided access to a mathematical model describing, for an initial fixed composition ratio [NH4+]0/[OCl]0, the evolution of the yield as a function of temperature, the flow rate of the reagents and the number of sodium hydroxide equivalent. Thus, the optimal conditions for the synthesis of stoichiometric chloramine using microreactor technology were established.
