STERILIZATION OF WATER BY OZONE UNDER ARCTIC CONDITIONS

摘要

Preliminary to the biological investigations, the chemistry and kinetics of ozone solutions were studied and an evaluation was made of the different mensuration methods for ozone in solution. Studies on the determination of the by-product oxygen in the equation 2H+ + 21- + 03 - H2O + 02 + I2 indicate that this equation is a true representation of the reaction at pH 9.0. A comparison of the iodide, bromide and ferrous techniques for the determination of ozone demonstrates a good correlation of these methods. The importance of the use of bromide in the determination of ozone is discussed.
