BCDMH works in the following manner:The initial BCDMH reacts with water (R = Dimethylhydantoin):: BrClR + 2 H2O → HOBr + HOCl + RH2Hypobromous acid partially dissociates in water:: HOBr → H+ + OBr−Hypobromous acid oxidizes the substrate, itself being reduced to bromide:: HOBr + Live pathogens → Br− + Dead pathogensThe bromide ions are oxidized with the hypochlorous acid that was formed from the initial BCDMH:: Br− + HOCl → HOBr + Cl−This produces more hypobromous acid.
Исходный BCDMH реагирует с водой:: BrClR + 2 H2O → HOBr + HOCl + RH2(R — диметилгидантоин): HOBr → H+ + OBr−: HOBr + живые патогены → Br− + мёртвые патогеныБромид-ионы оксисляются хлорноватистой кислотой, образовавшейся при растворении BCDMH:: Br− + HOCl → HOBr + Cl−* PubChem Public Chemical Database (nih.gov)* External MSDS
