Before ozone - and PAN were identified as specific phytotoxic components of the photochemical complex, researchers used a number of artificial chemical reaction systems to simulate the ambient photochemical-oxidant situation. These efforts involved a number of irradiated and nonirradiated reaction systems unsaturated hydrocarbon-ozone mixtures, unsaturated hydrocarbon-NOx mixtures, and dilute auto exhaust). Most research before 1960 involved one or more of these reaction systems. This research has been well reviewed " - 451.459.488.505 extenslvely covered here. Although the... 

To begin investigations we need to define the reaction system more exactly. This consists of at least an ozone source, a water to be ozonated with one or more compounds of interest M, and a reaction vessel (a reactor). The reactor could be a stirred tank reactor and could look like Figure 1 -2. Some of the parameters necessary to characterize the system are summarized in Table 1-1 ... 

If the Arrhenius function is valid, the plot of In k versus T shows a straight line and the slope is -Ea/9I. When determining the activation energy for an ozone reaction, it is important to keep in mind that by increasing the temperature of the water, the solubility of ozone decreases. The same liquid ozone concentration should be used at the various temperatures, which can be a problem in systems with fast reactions. Simplifying the temperature dependency, one could say that the increase of the temperature by 10 °C will double the reaction rate, the so-called van t Hoff rule (Benefield et al., 1982). 

Every ozonation process where gaseous ozone is transferred into the liquid phase and where it subsequently reacts, involves physical and chemical processes which need to be considered in modeling. Physical processes include mass transfer and hydrodynamic properties of the reaction system, e. g. gas- and liquid-phase mixing. Chemical processes include, ideally, all direct and/or indirect reactions of ozone with water constituents. Of course these processes cannot be seen independently. For example, fast reactions can enhance mass transfer. 

Modeling in drinking water applications is largely confined to describing chemical processes. The mathematical models used in this area are based on the reaction rate equation to describe the oxidation of the pollutants, combined with material balances on the reaction system to calculate the concentrations of the oxidants as a function of the water matrix. As noted above, the reaction rate equation is usually simplified to pseudo-first order. This is based on the assumption of steady-state concentrations for ozone and the radicals involved in the indirect reaction. 

Using this approach of a selectivity term SPFR Sunder and Hempel (1996) successfully modeled the oxidation of small concentrations of Tri- and Perchloroethylene (c(M)a = 300-1300 pg D) by ozone and hydrogen peroxide in a synthetic ground water (pH = 7.5-8.5 c(Sj) = 1-3 mmol C03 L"1). In this study an innovative reaction system was used the oxidation was performed in a tube reactor and mass transfer of gaseous ozone to pure water was realized in a separate contactor being located in front of the tube reactor. By this way a homogeneous system was achieved. Since the two model compounds react very slowly with molecular ozone (kD < 0.1 L mol-1 s "1), nearly the complete oxidation was due to the action of hydroxyl radicals, which were produced from the two oxidants (03/H202). With... 

Ozone is applied in three-phase systems where a selective ozone reaction, oxidation of residual compounds and/or enhancement of biodegradability is required. It can be used to treat drinking water and waste water, as well as gaseous or solid wastes. Especially in drinking water treatment full-scale applications are common, e. g. for particle removal and disinfection, while in waste water treatment sludge ozonation and the use of catalyst in AOP have been applied occasionally. Current research areas for three-phase ozonation include soil treatment and oxidative regeneration of adsorbers. Ozonation in water-solvent systems is seldom studied on the lab-scale and seems favorable only in special cases. In general, potential still exists for new developments and improvements in ozone applications for gas/watcr/solvent and gas/waler/solid systems. 

The selectivity of the ozone reaction in pure solvent or water-solvent systems is known from early studies conducted by chemists under analytical and preparative aspects (Bailey, 1958). Inert solvents (e. g. pentane, carbon tetrachloride) provide an opportunity to produce and study oxidation products of the ozonolysis, such as ozonides at low temperatures (Criegee, 1975). Only in the last two decades have ozonation techniques been developed and studied that utilize the higher ozone solubility, enhanced mass transfer rates, higher reaction rates etc. to be found in water-solvent systems.

Among the many mathematical models of fluidized bed reactors found in the literature the model of Werther (J ) has the advantage that the scale-dependent influence of the bed hydrodynamics on the reaction behaviour is taken into account. This model has been tested with industrial type gas distributors by means of RTD-measurements (3)and conversion measurements (4), respectively. In the latter investigation (4) a simple heterogeneous catalytic reaction i.e. the catalytic decomposition of ozone has been used. In the present paper the same modelling approach is applied to complex reaction systems. The reaction system chosen as an example of a complex fluid bed reaction is the synthesis of maleic anhydride (Figure 1).

The importance of the ozone reactions in all aspects of the mechanism is shown in Figure 5 where the behavior of the system without Reactions 13a and 13b is plotted. Radical production by ozonolysis represents an important part of the chain initiation throughout the entire course of reaction. The time of the induction period and the time of conversion of NO to NO2 are lengthened by deleting these reactions. 

The basic setup of a NCD system is shown in Fig. 1. In almost all cases, only a portion of the entire SFC mobile phase is diverted to the CLND detector using a fused-silica capillary or restrictor [6-8,10,11]. Use of a restrictor minimizes the effects of the SFC decompressed carbon dioxide (CO2) and solvent composition on the pyrolysis reaction and chemiluminescence. The CO2 flow rate, dictated largely by the SFC outlet pressure, can affect the residence time of the solute in the pyrolysis chamber and the efficiency of the ozone reaction. The addition of modifiers to the SFC mobile phase (e.g., methanol) can compete for the available pyrolysis oxygen and can reduce signal response. High concentrations of modifier can dramatically affect the detection limits of some compounds [7]. Moreover, the sample concentration also appears to be limited by competition for oxygen, resulting in incomplete combustion. 

Ozone gas can oxidize contaminants directly or through the formation of hydroxyl radicals. Like peroxide, ozone reactions are most effective in systems with acidic pH. The oxidation reaction proceeds with extremely fast, pseudo-first-order kinetics. Owing to ozone s...
