Resistance of alkyl chloride on chloramphenicol to oxidative degradation by sulfate radicals: Kinetics and mechanism

Release and rechlorination of chlorine atoms on the benzene ring have been observed during advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), while the dechlorination on the side chain of the benzene ring has not been fully investigated previously. The degradation and dechlorination processes of chloramphenicol (i.e., thiamphenicol (TAP) and florfenicol (FFC)) were assessed through generation of the sulfate radical from Co(II)-mediated activation of...
