In addition to these three treatment options, several alternative technologies are applicable to the treatment of oily wastewater. These include coalescing, flotation, centrifugation, integrated adsorption, resin adsorption, ozonation, chemical oxidation, aerobic decomposition, and thermal emulsion breaking.18-20... 

Vinyl groups of 1,4-DVB microgels have been converted to carboxylic acid groups by ozone [291]. After modification the microgels could be dissolved in methanol. About 83 % of the vinyl groups could be converted. A simpler way to prepare microgels with carboxyl acid groups at their surface is the copolymerization of DVB with methacrylic acid in an aqueous emulsion [292].

Studies have been conducted on creep compliance tests in which paint films were subjected to tensile loads of 4-7 psi (27.2-47.6 x 10 N/m ) and to 6% ozone for 505 h. A typical result for a high-quality emulsion-base paint is shown in Figure 13-1. Creep compliance is reduced by exposure to 6% ozone. If the effect is linearly related to ozone concentration, we might expect the same reduction in creep compliance at 0.1-ppm ozone in 3 x 10 h, or some 30,(XX) yr. Thus, reduction in creep compliance is not viewed as having a serious ozone contribution. 

Most polystyrene products are not homopolystyrene since the latter is relatively brittle with low impact and solvent resistance (Secs. 3-14b, 6-la). Various combinations of copolymerization and blending are used to improve the properties of polystyrene [Moore, 1989]. Copolymerization of styrene with 1,3-butadiene imparts sufficient flexibility to yield elastomeric products [styrene-1,3-butadiene rubbers (SBR)]. Most SBR rubbers (trade names Buna, GR-S, Philprene) are about 25% styrene-75% 1,3-butadiene copolymer produced by emulsion polymerization some are produced by anionic polymerization. About 2 billion pounds per year are produced in the United States. SBR is similar to natural rubber in tensile strength, has somewhat better ozone resistance and weatherability but has poorer resilience and greater heat buildup. SBR can be blended with oil (referred to as oil-extended SBR) to lower raw material costs without excessive loss of physical properties. SBR is also blended with other polymers to combine properties. The major use for SBR is in tires. Other uses include belting, hose, molded and extruded goods, flooring, shoe soles, coated fabrics, and electrical insulation. 

The absorption of ozone from the gas occurred simultaneously with the reaction of the PAH inside the oil droplets. In order to prove that the mass transfer rates of ozone were not limiting in this case, the mass transfer gas/water was optimized and the influence of the mass transfer water/oil was studied by ozonating various oil/water-emulsions with defined oil droplet size distributions. No influence of the mean droplet diameter (1.2 15 pm) on the reaction rate of PAH was observed, consequently the chemical reaction was not controlled by mass transfer at the water/oil interface or diffusion inside the oil droplets. Therefore, a microkinetic description was possible by a first order reaction with regard to the PAH concentration (Kornmuller et al., 1997 a). The effects of pH variation and addition of scavengers indicated a selective direct reaction mechanism of PAH inside the oil droplets...

Many systems of this kind have been described up to the pressent time. An interesting example is the application of ozonized polypropylene as initiator. By this kind of emulsion polymerization, chains of methyl methacrylate, styrene, and of other monomers [157,158] can be grafted on polypropylene, thus modifying its properties. 

It has been shown by Chavarie and Grace (15) that the decomposition of ozone in a fluidized-bed is best described by Kunii and Levenspiel s model (16) but that the Orcutt and Davidson models (17) gave the next best approximation for the overall behaviour and are easier to use and were chosen for the simulation. They suppose a uniform bubble size distribution with mass transfer accomplished by percolation and diffusion. The difference between the two models is the presumption of the type of gas flow in the emulsion phase piston flow, PF, for one model and a perfectly mixed, PM, emulsion phase for the other model. The two models give the following expressions at the surface of the fluidized bed for first-order reaction mechanism ...
