Nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) and nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA), two highly toxics and carcinogenic disinfection by-products, cannot be efficiently removed by conventional water treatment processes, while the ultrasound treatment was developed as a promising alternative. In this work, nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) and nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA) are degraded by ultrasound treatment. Greater than 99% of NDPA and NDBA mixing solution could be decomposed within 60 min at neutral pH under optimal ultrasound power and frequency settings of 100 W and 600 kHz, respectively. Free radical reactions (OH•) played a significant role and the reaction sites were predominately at the bubble interface. The degradation of both NDPA and NDBA exhibited pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics, and the rate constant kₐₚₚ was influenced by a number of factors including ultrasonic frequency, power, initial concentration, initial pH, various anions and cations frequently present in drinking water, hydroxyl radical scavengers, and water matrices, especially the promoting effect of various anions and cations and water matrices. The results of this study suggest the potential for ultrasound treatment as a method for removing NAms from water.
