Description
Summary:The series-event kinetic model is applied for the analysis of chemical disinfection data sets exhibiting initial resistance characteristics. Use of the mathematical model permits a generalized approach for data reduction expressed in terms of an apparent kinetic constant and an integer threshold exposure. The apparent kinetic constant exhibited a linear dependence on the concentration of disinfectant, thus giving credence to the first-order dependency to that concentration assumed in the reaction rate expression. It is proposed that batch disinfection data be expressed in terms of this two-parameter model rather than the traditional concentration-time product.
