  • Title: The formation and influence of hydrogen peroxide during ozonation of para-chlorophenol.
    Author: Pi Y, Zhang L, Wang J.
    Journal: J Hazard Mater; 2007 Mar 22; 141(3):707-12. PubMed ID: 16938386.
    Abstract:
    Hydrogen peroxide was detected during the ozonation of para-chlorophenol (4-CP) in aqueous solutions. Its formation and influence on the reaction mechanism were examined. Semi-batch experiments showed that hydrogen peroxide was formed during the direct reaction between molecular ozone and 4-CP. The detected hydrogen peroxide could reach 12.3% of the initial mole concentration of 4-CP. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with ozone in neutral pH and leads to the appearance of the powerful oxidant, OH* radicals. An O(3)/OH* probe compound, succinate was then developed, and also included in the 4-CP solution matrix. The disappearance of succinate with time shows the amount of OH radicals. With enough tert-butanol inhibiting the OH* radical oxidation, results showed that 4-CP was transformed to para-quinone by ozone, and subsequently destroyed to formic acid and oxalic acid. Without scavengers of inactivation the OH* radicals, 4-CP was destroyed to low molecular weight acid.
