13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
The reaction between peroxone and two isomers of aminodinitrotoluene (ADNT) was studied with respect to
kinetics of reaction and the products formed. The ADNTs react rapidly with ozone and hydroxyl radical, the
principal components of peroxone. At fairly high ADNT concentrations (ppm), the reaction of ADNT is
primarily with ozone. At lower ADNT concentrations (ppb), hydroxyl radical competes with ozone in pure
water systems. Reactions of both the 2- and 4-ADNT isomers result in the formation of pyruvic acid, nitrate
ion, and nitrite ion. A reaction mechanism consistent with these products is proposed.
