Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes: Ozonolysis01:46

Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes: Ozonolysis

11.4K
In ozonolysis, ozone is used to cleave a carbon–carbon double bond to form aldehydes and ketones, or carboxylic acids, depending on the work-up.
Ozone is a symmetrical bent molecule stabilized by a resonance structure.

Radical Autoxidation01:20

Radical Autoxidation

2.5K
The oxidation of an organic compound in the presence of air or oxygen is called autoxidation. For example, cumene reacts with oxygen to form hydroperoxide. Autoxidation involves initiation, propagation, and termination steps. Many organic compounds are susceptible to autoxidation—especially ethers in the presence of oxygen, which form hydroperoxides. Even though this reaction is slow, old ether bottles contain small amounts of peroxide, which leads to laboratory explosions during ether...

Summary

Nanobubbles (NBs) enhance ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOP) by improving ozone solubility and boosting hydroxyl radical formation. This application mitigates negative impacts of pH and temperature, increasing overall process efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Water Treatment Technologies
  • Nanotechnology Applications

Background:

  • Ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are effective for water treatment.
  • Conventional ozonation can be limited by factors like pH, temperature, and ozone solubility.
  • Improving hydroxyl radical (OH) formation is key to enhancing AOP efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of nanobubbles (NBs) on ozone-based AOP.
  • To evaluate the impact of NBs on ozone solubility, mass transfer, and OH radical generation.
  • To determine if NBs can mitigate operational challenges in ozonation.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental investigation of nanobubble application in ozone-based AOP.
  • Analysis of ozone solubility and mass transfer rates under varying pH and temperature conditions.
  • Measurement of hydroxyl radical concentration and formation rates with and without nanobubbles.

Main Results:

  • Nanobubbles (NBs) were found to suppress the negative effects of pH and temperature on ozonation efficiency.
  • NBs improved ozone solubility and mass transfer across a range of conditions.
  • NBs significantly enhanced hydroxyl radical (OH) formation, particularly in acidic conditions, increasing concentrations up to 3.5 fold.

Conclusions:

  • Nanobubble application shows significant potential to improve ozone-based AOP.
  • NBs enhance the efficiency of ozone-based AOP by increasing OH radical generation and improving operational stability.
  • This technology offers a promising strategy to optimize existing ozone-based AOP systems.
