Abstract

The mass transfer profile (permeability, diffusion, and solubility coefficients) of chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), a strong oxidizing agent that is used in food and pharmaceutical packaging, was determined through various common polymeric packaging materials. A continuous system for measuring permeation of ClO₂, using an electrochemical detector, was developed. It was observed that biaxially-oriented poly(propylene), poly (ethylene terephthalate), poly(lactic acid), nylon, and a multilayer structure of ethylene vinyl acetate and ethylene vinyl alcohol were better barriers for gaseous ClO₂, as compared to polyethylene, poly(vinyl chloride), and polystyrene. The activation energies of permeation for ClO₂ through poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(lactic acid) were determined to be 51.05 ± 4.35 and 129.03 ± 2.82 kJ/mol, respectively.
