Abstract
The ozonation kinetics of three azo dyes (Direct Yellow 27, Direct Blue 1 and Acid Black 52) in aqueous solution has been studied. Two types of reactors have been used, an agitated tank for studying the influence of variables and the stoichiometry, and an agitated cell for kinetic measurements. Both the film theory and the modes of ozone action on organic matter have been considered for obtaining the kinetic rate constants. A model of ozone absorption in the fast pseudo–m–th ozone order kinetic regime with two parallel reactions fits satisfactorily the experimental results. From it, the kinetic constants of both reactions have been evaluated.
