Influence of colloid suspensions of humic acids on the alkaline hydrolysis of N‐methyl‐N‐nitroso‐ p ‐toluene sulfonamide

Abstract

The influence of humic substances (HSs) upon the alkaline hydrolysis of N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluene sulfonamide has been studied. Important inhibition of hydrolysis reaction has been reported. This inhibition has been explained in terms of association of reactants to the humic substances. Kinetic results have been modeled using the micellar pseudophase model.
