Ozone: determination preparation

The type of feed gas used, air or oxygen, determines the achievable ozone gas concentration and the gas preparation requirements. The higher the oxygen content, the higher the ozone concentration possible. Ambient air contains 02 in about 21 vol % (at STP) and is thus a cheap and ubiquitous resource for ozone production. Its main use and advantage is in applications where large mass flows are required at comparatively low ozone gas concentrations, e. g. in drinking water ozonation systems. 

T,he structure of Feists acid, la, was determined with certainty some 60 years after its preparation (1-6). More recently, the proposal that the ozonation product of Feist s ester (lb) had structure II was shown to be incorrect (7). Our initial report not only showed that no II was present in any ozonation of Feists ester but offered chemical and spectroscopic proof for III as a major ozonation product. 

The compound, CLBrOTeFs, was prepared by the ozonization of BrOTeF5 as a colorless solid (m.p. — 20°C) and characterized by vibrational and 19F NMR spectroscopy and a single crystal X-ray structure determination [193], The structure has the expected pyramidal geometry at Brm, consistent with an AX3E VSEPR arrangement. 

The position of [Ag(bpy)2] salts is slightly clearer. Although crystal structural determinations indicate weak interactions between [Ag(bpy)2l cations and anions or solvent molecules, the cations can be regarded as homoleptic [Ag(bpy)2] complexes (1, 617, 728). Reddish-brown salts of [Ag(bpy)2l are readily obtained by electrochemical, persulphate, or ozone oxidation of either [Ag(bpy)2l or silver(I) salts in the presence of excess bpy (543, 621, 629, 641, 926, 967). The salt [Ag(bpy)2]fS03Fl2 is prepared by the reaction of bpy with Ag(S03F)2, obtained from the direct reaction of silver with S2O6F2 (541, 542). 

The sensitivity of the analyzer was determined by circulating synthetic mixtures of air and ozone prepared from 100% ozone with successive dilutions with air these mixtures were prepared by members of the Ozone Technology Group. 

Standard graphs of absorbance vs. iodine (or ozone) were plotted from readings from a series of prepared standards. Standard O.OIOOA iodine solution was freshly diluted with reagent solution to various strengths from zero to 0.00004A (5.08 y of iodine per ml.) and the absorbances were determined. The ozone equivalent was calculated on the basis of O3 OI2 (1 ml. of 0.0lA I2 O 240 y of O3). 

When aldehydes are prepared by ozonolysis, exactly the correct amount of ozone must be added, because excess ozone converts aldehydes to acids and peracids. In addition, alcohols, ethers, double bonds, or other functional groups present in the molecule may be attacked. This brings up the problem of determining when to stop the ozonolysis reaction. The theoretical amount of ozone may be added, but several cases are recorded in which more than one molar equivalent of ozone is required to cleave one double bond. One may stop when ozone appears in the effluent gas from the reactor. However, preliminary experiments have shown that at this low temperature ozone begins to overflow very soon after the reaction has started. A more useful method has been to stop the ozonolysis when the reaction mixture no longer shows unsaturation. This may be detected qualitatively by the use of bromine in carbon tetrachloride, tetranitromethane, etc. An infrared method makes it possible to follow quantitatively the rate of disappearance of trans double bonds and to locate the end point more exactly. The method was applied to the ozonolysis of stigmastadienone with good results. 

Effect of Concentration and Time. A study was made in mice to determine whether ozone obeyed the toxicologic rule that the product of the concentration and time of exposure produced a constant, toxicologic response, CT = K, over a concentration range of from 1 to 50 p.p.m. If a positive correlation is found, such information permits interpolation and extrapolation of the variables of exposure without the labor of experimental determination. A plot of the values in Table II from 2.5 to 50 p.p.m. of ozone shows reasonably good linearity, with the exception of the single response to 4 p.p.m. of ozone prepared from air. When the entire experience of the other three tests at this level was used, however, close agreement to linearity was found. No fatal...

The method used in practice for determining ozone must take into consideration the concentration to be expected. In the case of 0.1 to 10 mg/1 O3, 1 ml of the indigo reagent and 10 ml of the diluted phosphoric acid should be prepared. In the case of 0 to 0.1 mg/1 O3, 0.1 ml of the indigo reagent should be used. The measuring flask with the reference solution is filled...
