Document Abstract
In the present paper, a simple, and novel method for the abatement of paracetamol (PA) in aqueous system into environmental friendly compound benzoquinone at 308 K has been described, and was accelerated by simple, and inexpensive catalyst Cu(II)/Ni(II). A comparative assessment between Cu(II) and Ni(II)catalyzed, abatement of PA by CAT was performed. It has been determined that there are very little change in rate of reaction for both Cu(II)/Ni(II) catalyzed degradation of PA. All the kinetics parameters, i.e. the efect of change in concentrations of chloramine-T (CAT), sodium hydroxide, paracetamol, catalyst, added p-toluenesulfonamide, electrolyte etc. have been studied, and measured carefully. Reaction had been studied in the range of temperature 303–323 K. On the basis of kinetic data obtained a satisfactory mechanism has been proposed. And it was deduced that, presently used process was a tenable technique for the degradation of PA. Main abatement product was confrmed by GC–MS analysis technique.
