Ozonated water was investigated using a conventional UV-Vis spectrophotometer. We compared the UV absorption spectra of ozone (O 3 ) in water generated by either O 2 or air plasma bubbling method. The results noted that the observing the entire absorption spectrum is important for understanding the composition of ozonated water. Using an in-situ with an O 2 plasma bubbling in water we monitored the time-resolved UV absorption spectrum of the ozonated water. It is well known that a typical UV absorption spectrum of ozonated water contains a broad absorption peak at 260 nm and a shoulder below 220 nm. In our time-resolved measurement, however, it initially contained a broad absorption at short wavelength range below 210 nm considerably from dissolved O 2 . As increase of the ozonation time, it noted that the absorption spectrum indicated the presence of high concentration of H 2 O 2 and O 2 as well as relatively lower concentration of O 3 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
