Description

Dichloroacetamide is a chemical compound that has been shown to be an effective disinfectant and is often used in wastewater treatment. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by reacting with phosphorus pentoxide, which converts dichloroacetamide into chloroacetamide. This reaction also releases energy, which can be used for other purposes such as disinfection or energy metabolism. Dichloroacetamide has an alkanoic acid group that increases its reactivity with phosphorus pentoxide, making it a more efficient disinfectant than other compounds. Dichloroacetamide has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial functions and fluorescence in k562 cells at high concentrations, which may have adverse ecological effects on the environment.
