Abstract
Ozonation of several low molecular weight organic compounds under ultraviolet irradiation was studied. Nine compounds were identified as reaction products of the ozonation of phenol which was promoted by the simultaneous use of ozone and ultraviolet irradiation. In the case of several organic compounds having carbon numbers from one to six, the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) by this simultaneous use was higher than by either the ozone oxidation method or the ultraviolet irradiation method for all the compounds.
