Abstract

This work investigated impacts of iodide (I) on the transformation of the widely used phenolic preservative methylparaben (MeP) as well as 11 other phenolic compounds by potassium permanganate (KMnO). It was found that KMnO showed a low reactivity towards MeP in the absence of I with apparent second-order rate constants (k) ranging from 0.065?±?0.0071 to 1.0?±?0.1?Ms over the pH range of 5-9. The presence of I remarkably enhanced the transformation rates of MeP by KMnO via the contribution of hypoiodous acid (HOI) in situ formed, which displayed several orders of magnitude higher reactivity towards MeP than KMnO. This enhancing effect of I was greatly influenced by solution conditions (e.g., I or KMnO concentration or pH), which could be well simulated by a kinetic model involving competition reactions (i.e., KMnO with I, KMnO with MeP, HOI with KMnO, and HOI with MeP). Similar enhancing effect of I on the transformation kinetics of 5 other selected phenols (i.e., p-hydroxybenzoic acid, phenol, and bromophenols) at pH 7 was also observed, but not in the cases of bisphenol A, triclosan, 4-n-nonylphenol, and cresols. This discrepancy could be well explained by the relative reactivity of KMnO towards phenols vs I. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis showed that iodinated aromatic products and/or iodinated quinone-like product were generated in the cases where I enhancing effect was observed. Evolution of iodinated aromatic products generated from MeP (10??M) treated by KMnO (50-150??M) in the presence of I (5-15??M) suggested that higher I or moderate KMnO concentration or neutral pH promoted their formation. A similar enhancing effect of I (1??M) on the transformation of MeP (1??M) by KMnO (12.6??M) and formation of iodinated aromatic products were also observed in natural water. This work demonstrates an important role of I in the transformation kinetics and product formation of phenolic compounds by KMnO, which has great implications for future applications of KMnO in treatment of I-containing water.

In its elemental form, manganese has a silvery metallic appearance. Elemental ManganeseIt is a paramagnetic metal that oxidizes easily in addition to being very hard and brittle. Manganese is found as a free element in nature and also in the minerals pyrolusite, braunite, psilomelane, and rhodochrosite. The name Manganese originates from the Latin word mangnes, meaning "magnet."

Iodine

The number of electrons in each of Iodine's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 7 and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p5. The iodine atom has a radius of 140 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 198 pm. In its elemental form, iodine has a lustrous metallic gray appearance as a solid and a violet appearance as a gas or liquid solution. Elemental IodineIodine forms compounds with many elements, but is less active than the other halogens. It dissolves readily in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or carbon disulfide. Iodine compounds are important in organic chemistry and very useful in the field of medicine. Iodine was discovered and first isolated by Bernard Courtois in 1811. The name Iodine is derived from the Greek word "iodes" meaning violet.
