For involved reactions, the microcosmic reaction processes were analyzed and depicted in detail based on geometry optimizations made by the B3LYP/6-31G（d） method. At the same time, the reaction activation energies were also calculated at the MP2/6- 311G（d,p）//B3LYP/6-31G（d） level. Configuration analysis indicated that 2,3,7,8-TCDD could be destroyed by 03 and NO3 in two different ways. The destruction of 2,3,7,8-TCDD by 03 proceeded via the addition of 03 and the cleavage of C=C while the destruction of 2,3,7,8-TCDD by NO3 proceeded via the substitution of chlorine by NO3. Calculated results show that, the activation energy of the destruction reaction of 2,3,7,8-TCDD by NO3 （267.48 kJ/mol） is much larger than that of the destruction reaction of 2,3,7,8-TCDD by O3 （51.20 kJ/mol）. This indicated that the destruction of 2,3,7,8-TCDD by 03 is much more efficient than that of 2,3,7,8-TCDD by NO3. The reason why the activation energy for the destruction reaction of 2,3,7,8-TCDD by NO3 is so large, is also discussed.展开更多
