There has been only one major use for ozone today in the field of chemical synthesis the ozonation of oleic acid to produce azelaic acid. Oleic acid is obtained from either tallow, a by-product of meat-packing plants, or from tall oil, a byproduct of making paper from wood. Oleic acid is dissolved in about half its weight of pelargonic acid and is ozonized continuously in a reactor with approximately 2 percent ozone in oxygen it is oxidized for several hours. The pelargonic and azelaic acids are recovered by vacuum distillation. The acids are then esterified to yield a plasticizer for vinyl compounds or for the production of lubricants. Azelaic acid is also a starting material in the production of a nylon type of polymer.
