Chemical ozone

Chlorosulfouated polyethylene (Hypalou) 250 Excellent resistance to oxidizing chemicals, ozone, weathering. Relatively good resistance to oils, grease. Poor resistance to aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons. Good mechanical properties.

Clearly, whether or not ozone is formed depends also on the rate at which, for example, unsaturated hydrocarbons react with it. Rates of reactions of ozone with alkanes are, as noted above, much slower than for reaction with OH radicals, and reactions with ozone are of the greatest significance with unsaturated aliphatic compounds. The pathways plausibly follow those involved in chemical ozonization (Hudlicky 1990). 

The Carson Enviroimental (CE) technology is a mobile, ex sitn technology for remediating particnlate media or sohd materials. The technology combines gas-phase oxidation agents or chemicals (ozone and hydrogen peroxide) and ultraviolet (UV) hght in an on-site decontamination unit. 

For example, while the vortex-averaged 03 concentration at one altitude in the Arctic in the spring of 1994 was measured to decrease by 10%, the net chemical loss was estimated at 20% but this was partially compensated by an increase due to transport of air containing higher ozone concentrations from higher altitudes (Manney et al., 1995). Similar amounts of chemical ozone loss in the Arctic polar vortex have been calculated based on measurements of CIO, BrO, and 03 (e.g., Brune et al., 1991 Salawitch et al., 1993).

ECOC (Electro-Chemical Ozone Cell) is the Electrochemical ozonometer based on the electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozonesonde. The air sample is pumped through the ECC where ozone molecules are completely absorbed by the potassium iodide solution which causes an electric current to flow through the external circuit connected to the cell electrodes. Each ozone molecule produces a two electron flow in the outer circuit. Thus measurement of the electric current allows to determine a number of ozone molecules pumped into the ECC in one second. This number can be converted to ozone pressure using a pump productivity and air temperature at the pump output.

One of the Clean Air Act standards limits the amount of nitrogen oxides that a car can emit. These compounds react with oxygen to form another harmful chemical, ozone, O3. 

In spite of its instability, handling difficulties, and production cost, ozone has been used as an industrial chemical. Ozone would have greater application if its handling and production problems could be solved.

Observations show that about 25% of the observed mid-latitude ozone column depletion occurs above about 25 km, in the altitude range where gas-phase photochemistry is rapid and it is difficult for dynamics to compete (see e.g., SPARC, 1998). A further contribution due to PSC processing and to vortex breakdown is highly likely. Thus, a substantial chemical contribution of at least half of the trend in the column seems difficult to dispute even if locally-driven chemical ozone depletion in the mid-latitude lower stratosphere were to be substantially smaller than suggested by modelling studies and by the post-Pinatubo measurements described above. Thus, the evidence suggests that chlorine chemistry has played an important and very likely dominant role in the observed trends in mid-latitude ozone over the past two decades (for a recent review, see WMO/UNEP, 2003).
