Catalytic ozonation-Effect of carbon contaminants on the process of ozone decomposition

- Ozone decomposition is affected by carbons mineral contaminants to a great extent.
- Catalytic ozonation requires a strict pH control in ozone decomposition experiments.
- Mineral contaminants in active carbons significantly increase pH and are responsible for false catalytic effects.
- Low concentration buffers are not able to sufficiently stabilize pH of active carbon suspensions in water.
