Abstract: | The formation of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride during the treatment of fresh vegetable homogenate with sodium hypochlorite was studied.When a n-hexane extract of the reaction mixture of fresh vegetables and sodium hypochlorite was analysed by gas chromatography, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride were detected, and many unidentified peaks were also observed. The formation conditions of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride were studied. The mechanism of chloroform formation may be different from that of carbon tetrachloride according to the study of pH on the formation of both compounds. The formation of chloroform is much greater than that of carbon tetrachoride. |
