Abstract:
The adsorption properties of water-dissolved ozone on high silica zeolites were investigated. Adsorbed ozone was desorbed almost reversibly. The adsorption equilibrium relations were described by a linear expression written as q=betaC, where q is the amount adsorbed, C is the equilibrium concentration and beta is the equilibrium constant. Also, the beta values were strongly dependent on the SiO(2)/Al(2)O(3) ratio (mol/mol) and on the pore structure of the high silica zeolites. The larger the SiO(2)/Al(2)O(3) ratio, the larger the value of beta. ZSM-5 (SiO(2)/Al(2)O(3) ratio: 3000), which gave the highest adsorption capacity of water-dissolved ozone, was able to highly concentrate water-dissolved ozone on the adsorbent. The decomposition behavior of adsorbed ozone was also investigated. Ozone adsorbed on high silica zeolite was observed to be a little more stable than ozone existing in bulk water. The decomposition rate was independent of SiO(2)/Al(2)O(3) ratios in the range of 30-3000 or a solution pH in the range of 4-6.
