Laboratory batch and column tests were conducted to examine the reduction pathways and kinetics of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) by iron (Fe) and nickel-enhanced iron (Ni/Fe). A decrease in NDMA concentration and increases in dimethylamine (DMA) and ammonium were observed in both Fe and Ni/Fe columns. In the Fe column, the transformation process of NDMA appeared to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics with respect to NDMA, with an average half-life of 13±2 h. A small amount of nickel (0.25%) plated onto the iron greatly enhanced NDMA transformation rates. At early time the NDMA half-life in the Ni/Fe column was 2 min but as time progressed the half-life increased to 4 min, and departures from first-order kinetics were observed. The mass balances of carbon in DMA and nitrogen in DMA and ammonium improved over time and reached 100% and 90%, respectively, after NDMA had passed through the column for more than 50 pore volumes (PV). No 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, nitrous oxide, or methane were detected. Based on the electrochemical properties of NDMA, the transformation mechanism of NDMA with Fe and Ni/Fe is postulated to be catalytic hydrogenation, resulting in N-N bond breakdown to form DMA and ammonium as final products. Nickel, being a much stronger catalyst than Fe for catalytic hydrogenation, resulted in a much faster reduction rate of NDMA. Of several methods tested, flushing the Ni/Fe column with 0.01 N sulfuric acid proved to be the most effective in restoring the Ni/Fe activity. The rapid transformation rate on Ni/Fe and the formation of nontoxic products indicate that this material may be applicable for treating NDMA contaminated water, both in-situ and above ground.
