AsA at elevated pH produces electron transfer and governs the electron donating pathway.
The alkaline AsA reductive reaction is an effective method for the destruction of 1,3-DNB.
The reduction mechanisms include step-by-step electron transfer and condensation routes.
Higher NaOH/AsA ratios promote the condensation route and govern the electron release from AsA.
30">Eventually, 1,3-DNB was reduced to 1,3-phenylenediamine by the alkaline AsA reductive process.
