Photochemical degradation in air : |
Atmospheric photolysis half-life:
38.7d - 116d,
scientific judgement based upon measured photolysis rate in
distilled water under winter sunlight (high t1/2) and adjusted
for approximate summer sunlight intensity (low t1/2)
(Howard 1991).
Photooxidation half-life in air:
1.76hr - 17.6 hr,
scientific judgement based upon estimated rate constant for
reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air (Howard 1991).

Photochemical degradation in water : |
Aquatic photolysis half-life:
38.7d - 116d,
scientific judgement based upon measured photolysis rate in
distilled water under winter sunlight directly (high t1/2) and
adjusted for approximate summer sunlight intensity (low t1/2)
(Howard 1991).
Photooxidation half-life in water:
113d - 196d,
scientific judgement based upon measured sunlight
photooxidation rates in naturally
eutrophic pond water uncontaminated by munitions
chemicals (high t1/2) and in river water contaminated by
munitions chemicals (low t1/2); the rates are corrected for
direct sunlight photolysis rate in distilled water and for the
rate of an unidentified degradation process which occurred in
the dark (Howard 1991).

Hydrolysis in water : |
First-order hydrolysis half-life:
9.3yr at pH 7,
scientific judgement based upon base catalyzed hydrolysis rate
constant (Howard 1991).
|
|
Hydrolysis in base : |
Base rate constant: 2.36 x 10-2 M-1 s-1,
scientific judgement based upon base catalyzed hydrolysis rate
constant (Howard 1991).

scientific judgement based upon
munitions chemical-contaminated river die-away test data and
activated sludge screening test data (Howard 1991).

Removal/secondary treatment: 100%, removal persentage based
upon continuous activated sludge treatment simulator data
(Howard 1991).
