Q » How does ammonia addition form monochloramine?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Monochloramine forms when ammonia is added to water containing chlorine. In this process, chlorine reacts with ammonia in a controlled environment to produce monochloramine, which serves as a disinfectant in water purification. This reaction is preferable in some cases over chlorine alone because monochloramine is more stable and produces fewer disinfection byproducts, making it a safer and longer-lasting option for maintaining water quality.
