## Abstract BACKGROUND: Catalytic ozonation promoted by activated carbon is a promising advanced oxidation process used in water treatment. Hydrogen peroxide generated as a byβproduct from the reaction of ozone with some surface groups on the activated carbon or from the oxidation of some organic c

β¦ Synopsis
The catalytic activity of carbon blacks for the decomposition of aqueous hydrogen peroxide under given conditions of time, temperature and concentration depends on surface alkalinity and surface area of the blacks. A small fraction only of the total oxygen evolved in the process gets chemisorbed by the black provided the latter is not presaturated with oxygen. Chemisorption of oxygen does not appear to be an essential step in the progress of the reaction.

The thermal decomposition of FSOOSFB, P, in the presence of CO has been investigated between 130.1" and 161.9"C at total pressures between 50 and 600 torr. The reaction is homogeneous, and the only final products formed are C02 and S2F10. The rate of reaction is proportional to the pressure of P. Th
