Ozone solubility in liquids

A comprehensive and critical survey of the available data on ozone solubility in different liquids-in water and aqueous solutions, as well as in organic solvents has been made. Apart of comparing the data published by the various authors after 1981 for water and aqueous solutions, special attention has been paid to the effects of pH and the composition of the liquid phase (sail effect). The published data on ozone solubility in organic liquids have been compiled and the listing of such data given by Battino (1981) has been supplemented by the more recent ones. Special interest has been given to perfluorinated organic solvents, which exhibit high solubility for both oxygen and ozone. More formal thermodynamic approach has also been attempted. Special attention has then been paid to the predictive methods developed for oxygen solubility in non-polar and polar solvents.
