Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Chemical oxidation of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine transformation products in waterOxidation ofunsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine(UDMH) during a water treatment has several disadvantages including formation of stable toxic byproducts.Effectiveness of treatment methods in relation to UDMHtransformation products is currently poorly studied.This work considers the effectiveness of chemical oxidants in respect to main metabolites ofUDMH -1-formyl-2,2-dimethylhydrazine (FDMH), dimethylaminoacetontrile (DMAAN), N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and 1-methyl-1H-1,2,4triazole (MTA).Experiments on chemical oxidationby Fenton's reagent, potassium permanganate and sodium nitritewere conducted.Quantitative determination was performed by HPLC.Oxidation products were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in combination with solid-phase microextraction.FDMHwascompletely oxidized by Fenton's reagent with formation of formaldehyde N-formyl-N-methyl-hydrazone, 1,4-dihydro-1,4-dimethyl-5H-tetrazol-5-one by the action of potassium permanganate and N-methyl-N-nitro-methanamine in the presence of sodium nitrite.Oxidation of FDMHalso resulted in formation of NDMA.Oxidation of DMAANproceeded with formation ofhydroxyacetonitrile, dimethylformamide and 1,2,5-trimethylpyrrole.After 30 days,DMAAN was not detected in the presence of Fenton's reagent and potassium permanganate, but it's concentration in samples with sodium nitrite was 77.3 mg/L.
