To prevent unexpected accidents at nuclear facilities caused by accumulated ammonium nitrate in an aqueous liquid waste containing ammonium salts and nitric acid, NH $$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ in the liquid waste must be decomposed under mild reaction conditions. In this study, we investigated the oxidative decomposition of NH $$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ with O$$_{3}$$ at 333 K in the presence of a homogeneous Co$$^{2+}$$ catalyst and Cl$$^{-}$$ in the wide pH range of the test solution. The reaction behavior was greatly affected by pH of the test solution. In a basic solution at pH 12, high conversion of NH $$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ was obtained even in the absence of Co$$^{2+}$$ and Cl$$^{-}$$ and the main product was NO $$_{3}$$$$^{-}$$. However, Co$$^{2+}$$ and Cl$$^{-}$$ in the solution greatly enhanced the decomposition rate of NH $$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ in acidic to mild basic solutions (pH 1-8), while only low conversion of NH $$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ was observed unless both Co$$_{2+}$$ and Cl$$^{-}$$ were present. For the reaction with Co$$^{2+}$$ and Cl$$^{-}$$ in the solutions, NH$$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ was transformed mainly into chloramines (NH $$_{x}$$Cl $$_{3-x}$$, x = 1-3) by the reaction with HClO, which was formed by the reaction of Cl$$^{-}$$ with O$$_{3}$$ catalyzed by the homogeneous Co$$^{2+}$$ catalyst, and led to the high decomposition rate of NH$$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$. Cl$$^{-}$$ suppressed the formation of the precipitate CoO(OH) during the reaction and consequently the Co$$^{2+}$$ catalyst stably existed in the reaction solution, which was another reason for the high decomposition rate of NH$$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ in the presence of Cl$$^{-}$$. Owing to the swift decomposition of NH$$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ under mild reaction conditions and small formation of secondary waste, the oxidative decomposition of NH$$_{4}$$ $$^{+}$$ in the presence of the homogeneous Co$$^{2+}$$ catalyst and Cl$$^{-}$$ is suitable and applicable for the treatment of the aqueous liquid waste containing ammonium salts and nitric acid.
