Formation of halogenated disinfection by-products (DBPs) in sulfate radical (SO4 center dot-) based oxidation processes attracted considerable attention recently. However, the underlying reaction pathways have not been well explored. This study focused on the transformation of Br- in cobalt activated peroxymonosulfate (Co2+/PMS) oxidation process. Phenol was added as a model compound to mimic the reactivity of natural organic matter (NOM). It was revealed that Br- was efficiently transformed to reactive bromine species (RBS) including free bromine and bromine radicals (Br-center dot, Br-2(center dot-), etc.) in Co2+/PMS system. SO4 center dot- played a principal role during this process. RBS thus generated resulted in the bromination of phenol and formation brominated DBPs (Br-DBPs) including bromoform and bromoacetic acids, during which brominated phenols were detected as the intermediates. Br-DBPs were further degraded by excessive SO4 center dot- and transformed to bromate ultimately. Free bromine was also formed in the absence of Co2+, suggesting Br- could be oxidized by PMS per se. Free bromine was incorporated to phenol sequentially leading to Br-DBPs as well. However, Br-DBPs could not be further transformed in the absence of SO4 center dot-. This is the first study that elucidated the comprehensive transformation map of Br- in PMS oxidation systems, which should be taken into consideration when PMS was applied to eliminate contamination in real practice.
