Chloramben (sodium)

Chloramben sodium is a herbicide with anti-growth activity against plants. Chloramben sodium can be effectively removed by photo-Fenton reaction under natural pH conditions, showing good degradation performance. The removal rate of chloramben sodium is consistent with different electrodes, mainly due to the oxidation mediated by the hydroxyl ions formed in the Fenton reaction. Chloramben sodium is almost completely mineralized using IrO2-based electrodes at high current density, indicating that it can be effectively degraded under light. Chloramben sodium leads to the formation of persistent chlorine derivatives in chlorine-containing environments, so the removal rate and mineralization rate are slightly reduced. Chloramben sodium can form intermediates with a variety of aromatic compounds and organic acids, reflecting the complexity of its transformation in the environment[1].
