This paper is a critical review and summary of the analytical procedures currently used by operating water utilities to control ozone treatment processes, considering disinfection as well as the many oxidative applications of ozone in water treatment applications. The role of common interferences in the various methods is described.
In operating U S., Canadian, European, and Japanese water treatment plants currently employing ozone as a primary disinfectant, ozone nearly always is followed by the addition of small quantities of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, or chloramine to provide the residual in the distribution system and to act as a secondary disinfectant. Clearly, the analytical procedures used must distinguish between the various species. This review critically presents these various factors and their implication with respect to “true values” of ozone determined under widely varying conditions. 相似文献
The brittle fracture of round-notched epoxy resin bars subjected to plane strain bending has been studied at varying strain rates. Observations of fracture processes and surface morphologies revealed that the internal crack was nucleated at the plastic-elastic boundary when the plastic deformation zone at the notch root reached a certain size. A slip-line field theory allows calculation of the stress components at the plastic-elastic boundary from a knowledge of the location of the internal crack. An analysis of the data concluded that the triaxial stress level ahead of the plastic zone was raised by plastic constraints to an ideal fracture stress which is considerably larger than that of glassy thermoplastics. 相似文献
Concerns regarding the possible environmental effects of organochlorine by‐products from bleaching of pulp with chlorine‐based compounds have led to the pulp and paper industry developing new bleaching sequences. Ozone, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide are the main reagents in these Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) bleaching processes.
In this study, eucalypt kraft pulps from a variety of Australian wood sources were subjected to bleaching sequences comprising oxygen, ozone and hydrogen peroxide/alkali extraction stages. The aqueous liquid effluents from each stage were analyzed by GC/MS for aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, carboxylic acids and other by‐products. Pentafluorobenzyl oxime derivatives of the aldehydes and ketones were analyzed by electron impact GC/MS. The major carbonyl compounds detected were formaldehyde, glyoxal, dimethylglyoxal and acetone. An homologous series of n‐aldehydes corresponding to cleavage of ω‐3, 6, 9 and 12 unsaturated fatty acids also was detected. Aromatic aldehydes were identified in the oxygen stage and high consistency ozone stages, but not in any medium consistency ozone or post‐ozone bleach stages. In all stages a series of saturated alkyl carboxylic acids from formic to octacosanoic acid was detected. Formic and acetic acids were present in the highest yield. Only trace quantities of unsaturated fatty acids were detected. Details of these and other compounds detected are discussed. 相似文献
