Abstract

For PETN. Mechanistic kinetic comparison to model compounds suggests the hydroxyl radical reaction proceeds via hydrogen abstraction for both aliphatic and nitroaromatic species. These findings support the feasibility of hydroxyl radical-driven AOPs as an effective, scalable strategy for treating explosive-contaminated waters.
