The Role of Highly Reactive intermediates in the Decomposition of Aqueous Ozone

摘要

Based on model calculations, a general mechanism is given for the aqueous ozoen decomposition in neutral - alkaline solution. It is shown that the main chain carrier in the decomposition reaction is the ozonide radical ion (O_3) and hte hydroxy radical (OH) is a far less important transient species than it was assumed before. The model also appears to be appropriate for the ozone decomposition in he presence of carbonate ion.
