Ozone Initiated Oxidation of Cresol Isomers Using γ-Al2O3 and SiO2 as Adsorbents

Ozone initiated oxidation of environmentally unfriendly organic compounds is one of the powerful tools that is utilized to convert and/or completely mineralize these substances. Here we have adopted the adsorption phenomenon in combination with ozonation (0.123 mg/L) of the hazardous cresol isomers mounted in a glass column. An oxide of aluminum (γ-Al2O3) or silicon (SiO2) was used as an adsorbent material. These materials were characterized...
