The reaction rate between ozone and o#x2013;cresol in aqueous solution at pH 2 has been studied. According to the absorption theories, the kinetic regime of the process in the experimental conditions investigated, corresponds to an irreversible fast pseudo-first order reaction between non-dissociated o-cresol and ozone. Similar values for the rate constant are deduced from the different theories. Therefore the film theory, having a simple mathematical basis, seems to be the most appropriate model for this kinetic study.
