Yet, the most widely used methods for quantifying free halogens, 12 13 including those employing N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD), cannot distinguish between 14 15 16 HOCl and HOBr. Herein, we report methods for selectively quantifying free halogens in a variety 17 18 of aqueous systems using 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB). At near-neutral pH, TMB reacted on 19 20 the order of seconds with HOCl, HOBr, and inorganic bromamines to yield halogenated products 21 22 that were readily quantified by liquid chromatography or, following liquid-liquid extraction, gas 23 24 25 chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The chlorinated and brominated products of TMB 26 27 were stable, and their molar concentrations were used to calculate the original concentrations of 28 29 HOCl (method quantitation limit (MQL) by GC-MS = 15 nmol L–1 = 1.1 μg L–1 as Cl ) and HOBr 30 2 31 –1 –1 32 (MQL by GC-MS = 30 nmol L = 2 μg L as Cl2), respectively. Moreover, TMB derivatization 33 34 was efficacious for quantifying active halogenating agents in drinking water, pool water, 35 36 chlorinated surface waters, and simulated spa waters treated with 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5- 37 38 39 dimethylhydantoin. TMB was also used to quantify bromide as a trace impurity in 20 nominally 40 41 bromide-free reagents (following oxidation of bromide by HOCl to HOBr). Several possible 42 43 interferents were tested, and iodide was identified as impeding accurate quantitation of HOCl and 44 45 HOBr. Overall, compared to the DPD method, TMB can provide lower MQLs, larger linear ranges, 46 47 48 and selectivity between HOCl and HOBr. 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 Page 3 of 32 Analytical Methods 1 2 3 4 1. Introduction 5 6 Free chlorine and free bromine serve as disinfectants (or are generated in situ) in drinking 7 8 9 water, wastewater, spas, pools, ballast water in ships, as well as in household and industrial 10 11 cleaning products.1-3 Free chlorine (i.e., free available chlorine) describes all aqueous chlorine 12 13 species in the +I or 0 oxidation state (except chloramines).4 Examples of free chlorine species 14 15 – 4,5 16 include HOCl, ClO , Cl2, and Cl2O. Solutions of free chlorine are commonly generated by 17 18 dosing water with NaOCl(aq), Ca(OCl)2(s), Cl2(g), or stabilized chlorine, including various 19 20 organic chloramines.1,6 Free bromine (i.e., free available bromine) refers to all aqueous bromine 21 22 species in the +I or 0 oxidation state (except bromamines).7 Example of free bromine species 23 24 – 7 25 include HOBr, BrO , Br2, BrCl, Br2O, and BrOCl. Free bromine can be produced via hydrolysis 26 27 of liquid bromine (Br2) or organic bromamines, as well as by in situ oxidation of bromide (e.g., by 28 29 HOCl, eq 1).1,7,8 30 31 32 HOCl + Br– ⇌ BrCl + OH– ⇌ HOBr + Cl– (1) 33 34 Ozone and hydrogen peroxide/peroxidase systems are also capable of oxidizing bromide into free 35 36 9,10 o 11 37 bromine. At pH 7, hypochlorous acid (HOCl, pKa = 7.58 at 20 C) and hypobromous acid 38 o 12 39 (HOBr , pKa = 8.70 at 20 C) are the most abundant forms of free chlorine and free bromine, 40 41 respectively. 42 43 44 Accurate quantification of free halogen residuals in disinfected waters is important for 45 –1 46 protecting human and environmental health. At doses on the order of 1 – 4 mg L , free halogens 47 48 are capable of inactivating pathogens in drinking water, wastewater, and recreational waters.1 49 50 Higher concentrations (e.g., 10 to >10,000 mg L–1) of free chlorine are employed for disinfection 51 52 53 processes associated with food service, medical/mortuary settings, and decontamination of 54 55 biological warfare agents.13-16 56 57 58 59 60 Analytical Methods Page 4 of 32 1 2 3 Monitoring of free halogens in disinfected waters is also important due to the propensity 4 5 6 of free halogens to react with organic matter to form chlorinated and brominated disinfection 7 8 byproducts (DBPs).17,18 Brominated DBPs are generally more toxic than their chlorinated 9 10 analogues,19 which underscores the need for analytical methods capable of selectively quantifying 11 12 free chlorine and free bromine as precursors of DBPs. Quantification of free halogens is also 13 14 15 important in laboratory settings, including experiments investigating disinfection efficacy and 16 17 DBP (trans)formation.20-22 Such studies frequently employ solutions containing mixtures of free 18 19 chlorine and free bromine generated via oxidation of bromide (e.g., from NaBr) by excess free 20 21 23 22 chlorine. Free chlorine/bromine mixtures are also generated in waters (e.g., spas and toilet tanks) 23 24 disinfected with 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (BCDMH, Scheme 1),1 as well as in 25 26 chlorinated solutions amended with salts (e.g., NaCl) in which bromide is present as an impurity.24 27 28 29 30 Br H N 31 O N O 32 + 2 H2O + HOBr + HOCl 33 N N 34 O Cl O H 35 Scheme 1. Hydrolysis of 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (BCDMH) yielding HOBr 36 37 and HOCl. Whether BCDMH exists principally as 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin or as 25 38 3-bromo-1-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin has been discussed in the literature. 39 40 41 Several methods exist for quantifying free halogen residuals in aqueous samples, including 42 43 iodometric titration, amperometric titration, and, perhaps most commonly, colorimetric methods 44 45 employing N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD).26,27 Methods of quantifying free chlorine 46 47 28 29-31 48 involving chemiluminescent reactions and quantum dots have also been reported. None of 49 50 these methods, however, are able to selectively and concurrently quantify free chlorine and free 51 52 bromine in samples containing mixtures of these analytes. 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 Page 5 of 32 Analytical Methods 1 2 3 To distinguish between free chlorine and free bromine, electron-rich aromatic compounds 4 5 6 can serve as derivatizing agents (i.e., probes) for these free halogens. Such methods leverage the 7 8 propensity of aromatic compounds containing “activating” substituents (e.g., hydroxy and 9 10 methoxy) to form organohalides via electrophilic substitution.32,33 When selecting among possible 11 12 probes, several characteristics of the candidate probe and of its halogenated products need to be 13 14 15 considered, including water solubility, nucleophilicity, stability, ease of analysis, molecular 16 17 symmetry, acid/base behavior, and toxicity. Probes (and their halogenation products) must be 18 19 sufficiently water soluble so as to preclude precipitation. Probes should demonstrate adequate 20 21 22 nucleophilicity in reactions with free halogens so as to promote stoichiometric conversion of free 23 24 halogens to the corresponding organohalides in reasonable time frames (ideally on the order of 25 26 seconds). Candidate probes must generate stable halogenated products amenable to selective 27 28 29 quantitation (e.g., by liquid chromatography (LC) and/or gas chromatography (GC)) so that non- 30 31 halogenated, chlorinated, and brominated probe species can be individually quantified. Probes 32 33 with higher degrees of symmetry have fewer unique substitution positions, generate fewer 34 35 products, and thereby simplify analysis of product mixtures compared to probes of lower 36 37 38 symmetry. Acid-base behavior (if any) should be chosen so as to enhance (or, at a minimum, not 39 40 diminish) the probe’s performance in terms of water solubility, nucleophilicity, and ease of 41 42 analysis. Importantly, probes should also be selected so as to minimize toxicity hazards. 43 44 45 Previous studies have demonstrated the ability of electron-rich aromatic compounds 46 47 (including phenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, and 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole 48 49 (DMPyr), Figure 1) to serve as probes of free chlorine and/or free bromine via quantification of 50 51 34-39 52 their halogenated products by LC or GC.

    25 YEARS OF BROMINE CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRIAL WATER SYSTEMS: A REVIEW Christopher J. Nalepa Albemarle Corporation P.O. Box 14799 Baton Rouge, LA 70898 ABSTRACT Bromine chemistry is used to great advantage in nature for fouling control by a number of sessile marine organisms such as sponges, seaweeds, and bryozoans. Such organisms produce small quantities of brominated organic compounds that effectively help keep their surfaces clean of problem bacteria, fungi, and algae. For over two decades, bromine chemistry has been used to similar advantage in the treatment of industrial water systems. The past several years in particular has seen the development of several diverse bromine product forms – one-drum stabilized bromine liquids, all-bromine hydantoin solids, and pumpable gels. The purpose of this paper is to review the development of bromine chemistry in industrial water treatment, discuss characteristics of the new product forms, and speculate on future developments. Keywords: Oxidizing biocide, bleach, bromine, bromine chemistry, sodium hypobromite, activated sodium bromide, Bromochlorodimethylhydantoin, Bromochloromethyethylhydantoin, Dibromodi- methylhydantoin,, BCDMH, BCMEH, DBDMH, stabilized bromine chloride, stabilized hypobromite INTRODUCTION Sessile marine organisms generate metabolites to ward off predators and deter attachment of potential micro- and macrofoulants. Sponges, algae, and bryozoans for example, produce a rich variety of bromine-containing compounds that exhibit antifoulant properties (Fig. 1).1,2,3 Scientists are actively studying these organisms to understand how they maintain surfaces that are relatively clean and slime- free.4 Brominated furanones isolated from the red algae Delisea pulchra, for example, have been found to interfere with the chemical signals (acylated homoserine lactones) that bacteria use to communicate with one another to produce biofilms.5,6 This work may eventually lead to more effective control of microorganisms in a number of industries such as industrial water treatment, oil and gas production, health care, etc.

    Guidelines for Safe Recreational-water Environments Final Draft for Consultation Vol. 2: Swimming Pools, Spas and Similar Recreational-water Environments August 2000 CHAPTER 5 MANAGING WATER AND AIR QUALITY Guidelines for Safe Recreational-water Environments Final Draft for Consultation Vol. 2: Swimming Pools, Spas and Similar Recreational-water Environments August 2000 This chapter builds upon the background provided in chapters 2, 3 and 4. The primary water and air quality health challenges to be dealt with are, in order of priority, controlling clarity to minimize injury hazard, controlling water quality to prevent the transmission of infectious disease, and controlling potential hazards from disinfectant by-products. These challenges can be met through optimal matching of the following factors: · treatment (to remove particulates, pollutants and microorganisms); · disinfection (to destroy or remove infectious microorganisms so that the water cannot transmit disease-producing biological agents); · pool hydraulics (to ensure optimal distribution of disinfectant throughout the pool); and · addition of fresh water at frequent intervals (to dilute substances that cannot be removed from the water by treatment). Controlling clarity, the most important water quality criterion, involves adequate water treatment, usually involving filtration and coagulation. The control of pathogens is typically achieved by a combination of recirculation of pool water through treatment (typically involving some form of filtration plus disinfection) and the application of a residual chemical disinfectant to inactivate microorganisms introduced to the pool itself by, for instance, bathers. Pools that cannot be treated or disinfected need special management. As not all infectious agents are killed by the most frequently used residual disinfectants, and as removal in treatment is slow, it is necessary to minimize accidental faecal releases (AFRs) and vomitus, and to respond effectively to them when they occur; and to minimize the introduction of shed organisms by pre-swim hygiene.

    Guidelines for Safe Recreational-water Environments Final Draft for Consultation Vol. 2: Swimming Pools, Spas and Similar Recreational-water Environments August 2000 CHAPTER 4 CHEMICAL HAZARDS Guidelines for Safe Recreational-water Environments Final Draft for Consultation Vol. 2: Swimming Pools, Spas and Similar Recreational-water Environments August 2000 Chemicals found in pool water include those that are related to water treatment — both the chemical additives themselves and the by-products that are produced from chemical reactions between the additives (particularly the reactive disinfectants) and organic and inorganic materials in the raw water — and those that are contributed by the swimmers, which include soap residues, cosmetics, suntan oil, sweat and urine. This chapter briefly reviews the routes of exposure to chemicals in swimming pools, spas and similar recreational-water environments, estimated and measured intakes of chemicals by users, and the hazards associated with exposure to the chemicals. 4.1 Concentrations of chemicals in swimming pool environments 4.1.1 Disinfectants A variety of disinfectants are used for pool water treatment. Those listed in the first column of Table 4.1 represent the major usage worldwide, especially in public and semi-public pools that are large and heavily used. With the exception of chlorine gas and ozone, these disinfectants are also routinely used in many small private and semi-public pools. Some of these are residual disinfectants — i.e., they persist in water and are present in the water to which pool users are exposed. This provides increased protection against contamination with infectious agents susceptible to disinfection and leads to human exposure to the disinfectant itself.

    WEFTEC®.06 ALTERNATIVE DISINFECTION TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATES ADVANTAGES FOR WET WEATHER APPLICATIONS – A PILOT STUDY OF POWDERED BROMINE TECHNOLOGY Peter E. Moffa*, Daniel P. Davis*, Chris Somerlot*, Dan Sharek**, Brian Gresser***, Tom Smith*** * Brown and Caldwell 5710 Commons Park East Syracuse, New York ** Hatch Mott McDonald Gateway View Plaza, 1600 West Carson Street Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania *** City of Akron Akron, Ohio ABSTRACT A bromine disinfection technology currently utilized in Japan for Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) disinfection was piloted by the City of Akron, Ohio. Bromochlorodimethylhydantoin (BCDMH) is a biocide in powdered form that, when dissolved in water, hydrolyzes to hypobromous acid, hypochlorous acid (the active biocides) and Dimethylhydantoin. This unique combination in active biocides can yield similar or better bacteria reductions in less time and with lower disinfection byproducts compared with a similar dose of sodium hypochlorite. The City of Akron expressed interest in this technology in anticipation of wet weather application of high-rate disinfection that would require intermittent operation and storage of chemicals between such operations. Consequently, Hatch Mott McDonald / Brown and Caldwell were hired to demonstrate this technology using a pilot facility at the Akron Water Pollution Control Station (WPCS). KEYWORDS Disinfection, Bromine, Chlorine, CSO, High-rate treatment INTRODUCTION A new technology for high-rate disinfection has been examined under wet weather conditions in Akron, Ohio. The technology, developed by EBARA of Tokyo, Japan, has been successfully implemented at a number of sites in Japan for treatment of wet weather discharges, but has not yet been implemented in the United States. The technology uses a compound known as Bromochlorodimethylhydantoin (BCDMH) that contains both chlorine and bromine oxidants.
