| Research Abstract |
The developmental research was conducted for the degradation of organic substances in water by applying the ozone treatment with UV irradiation for the recirculation of ultrapure water. Methanol was selected as a target compound since it is widely used for cleaning and resistant to decomposition. The absolute UV intensity distribution was discussed in heterogeneous annular photoreactors, and the cleanness of water was evaluated with a contact-angle method. The light source was a low pressure mercury lamp which emitted the 185nm as well as 254nm ray. The reactor was provided with a synthesized fused-silica tube (which transmitted the far UV light) for an inner wall (outside diameter of 33.0mm) and a Pyrex tube for an outside wall (inside diameter of 89.2mm). Ozone was sparged upwards as bubbles into the annulus.
The self-decomposition rate of ozone was found to be facilitated by more than a hundred times with irradiation of the UV rays, by comparing the observed results of the photolytic

and the thermal self-decompositions. The effects of the ozone and oxygen concentrations, the UV wavelength and intensity, and the residence time of liquid were examined on the degradation rate of methanol in flow system. The degradation characteristics at the high conversion region were studied with a semi-batch operation. The ozone treatment with UV irradiation had a remarkable effect. With the use of a 40W lamp, methanol was completely decomposed within 4.5 hrs under the conditions that the initial concentration of methanol was 1.24x <10^(-2)> mol/1 and the inlet concentration of ozone was 4.92x <10^(-4)> mol/1 (the flow rate of oxygen was 4 1/min) at 25゜C. The observed results were simulated with consideration that the chemical step controlled the overall heterogeneous reaction, and by assuming that the reaction order to methanol concentration was 0.5 and that methanol inhibited the decomposition of the intermediate, formic acid. The research is now undertaken to examine the characteristics of TOC degradation precisely with use of the simulated waste water. Less
