OZONATION OF AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS OF RESORCINOL AND PHLOROGLUCINOL .3. INSTANTANEOUS KINETIC REGIME

The ozonation of resorcinol and phloroglucinol in water is carried out at ozone partial pressures higher than 1700 Pa, 1-20-degrees-C, and pH 7 and 8.5. At these conditions the kinetic regime of absorption is found to be instantaneous. This fact allows the determination of the volumetric mass-transfer coefficient k(L)a of the system. Values of k(L)a obtained in this way are in good agreement with others deduced from other chemical methods.
