Bromide-assisted catalytic oxidation of lead(ii) solids by chlorine in drinking water distribution systems†
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of bromide on the oxidation of three lead(II) solids by chlorine – a redox process critical to the control of lead release in drinking water distribution systems. Bromide had a strong catalytic effect on the oxidation of lead(II) carbonate solids, but had a limited impact on the oxidation of lead(II) phosphate.
