The photolysis of monochloramine (NH<sub>2</sub>Cl), dichloramine (NHCl<sub>2</sub>), and trichloramine
(NCl<sub>3</sub>) was investigated with several different collimated ultraviolet (UV) sources, including:
low-pressure Hg; a KrCl excimer lamp; and a XeBr excimer lamp. The results indicate that
all three inorganic chloramines can be degraded under the UV irradiation, and the dynamics
depend on the wavelength of UV irradiation. The products of photodecay of chloramines
were identified and quantified as nitrate, nitrite, nitrous oxide and ammonium. Based on the
results, a mechanism of photodecay of monochloramine is proposed. Includes 9 references, table, figures.
