Vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) photolysis is recognized as an environmental-friendly treatment process. Nitrate(NO-3) and natural organic matter(NOM) are widely present in water *** investigated trichloronitromethane(TCNM) formation during chlorination after VUV photolysis, because TCNM is an unregulated highly toxic disinfection byproduct. In this study:(1) we found reactive nitrogen species that is generated under VUV photolysis of NO-3react with organic matter to form nitrogen-containing compounds and subsequently form TCNM during chlorination;(2) we found the mere presence of 0.1 mmol/L NO-3can result in the formation of up to 63.96 μg/L TCNM;(3) we found the changes in pH(6.0-8.0), chloride(1-4 mmol/L), and bicarbonate(1-4 mmol/L) cannot effectively diminish TCNM formation;and,(4) we established the quantitative structure-activity relationship(QSAR) model,which indicated a linear relationship between TCNM formation and the Hammett constant(σ) of model compounds;and,(5) we characterized TCNM precursors in water matrix after VUV photolysis and found 1161 much more nitrogen-containing compounds with higher aromaticity were generated. Overall, this study indicates more attention should be paid to reducing the formation risk of TCNM when applying VUV photolysis process at scale.
