Abstract
Ozonation of dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate and dipropyl phthalate was carried out to evaluate the potential of ozonation for phthalate removal from water. Phthalates with longer alkyl chains, which are often more resistant to biodegradation were found to be more degradable than those with shorter alkyl chains. The degradation of phthalates by ozonation follows the pseudoβfirstβorder kinetic model. The rate of phthalates degradation increased exponentially with increasing temperature in the range studied (20 to 50 Β°C) and in proportion with applied ozone dosages. The rate of phthalates degradation was found to increase with increasing pH of the solution from 2.6 to 11.0, and decreased exponentially with increasing initial concentrations of the phthalates. Degradation of phthalates via ozonation was found to develop dominantly through direct reaction with hydroxyl radicals. Copyright Β© 2010 Society of Chemical Industry

Ozonation kinetics of iron and manganese in aqueous solution is experimentally investigated. The effects of pH, initial ion concentration and the ozone dosage on the kinetic rate parameters are examined. It has been found that ozonation of those ions in general follows zero order kinetics.
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Chloronitrobenzenes (ClNBs) are a family of toxic and bioβresistant organic compounds. Ozone treatment is specifically suitable for partial or complete oxidation of nonβbiodegradable components. However, few studies on the decomposition of ClNBs by ozone are available, a
Manganese-catalysed ozonation of glyoxalic acid in aqueous solutions has been investigated in the pH range 2.0Β±4.0. The addition of manganese ions (Mn(II) or Mn(IV)) to a glyoxalic acidΒ±ozone system allows the substrate to be oxidized through a mechanism different from that reported for uncatalysed
