“…This is in agreement with what would be expected based on the bond localization energies of PAH, for ozone molecules attack more easily organic compounds having lower bond localization energy. Moreover, our results are similar to those obtained by other authors, who determined that low-molecular weight PAH (3-ring) degraded with ozone slower than higher-molecular weight (4-ring) PAH in aqueous medium (Butković et al, 1983;Trapido et al, 1995). On the other hand, these results are contrary to those of Nam and Kukor (2000), who declared that the reactivity of ozone decreases as the number of fused benzene rings increases.…”

“…Ozone, which is used both in wastewater and soil treatment, is a very powerful oxidant that can react with PAH with rate constants greater than 10 3 M K1 s K1 (Butković et al, 1983). Ozone oxidizes organic compounds either by direct oxidation or through generation of hydroxyl radicals, or both.…”

“…Trapido et al [35] also observed a dramatic decrease in benzo(a)pyrene's reaction rate when experiments were conducted at concentrations above benzo(a)pyrene aqueous solubility. Butkovic et al [36], also working with benzo(a)pyrene above its aqueous solubility, found that benzo(a)pyrene had lower reactivity toward ozone than pyrene and phenanthrene.…”

Surface waters impacted by urban runoff in metropolitan areas are becoming increasingly contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Slow-release oxidant candles (paraffin-KMnO(4)) are a relatively new technology being used to treat contaminated groundwater and could potentially be used to treat urban runoff. Given that these candles only release permanganate when submerged, the ephemeral nature of runoff events would influence when the permanganate is released for treating PAHs. Our objective was to determine if slow-release permanganate candles could be used to degrade and mineralize PAHs. Batch experiments quantified PAH degradation rates in the presence of the oxidant candles. Results showed most of the 16 PAHs tested were degraded within 2-4 h. Using (14)C-labled phenanthrene and benzo(a)pyrene, we demonstrated that the wax matrix of the candle initially adsorbs the PAH, but then releases the PAH back into solution as transformed, more water soluble products. While permanganate was unable to mineralize the PAHs (i.e., convert to CO(2)), we found that the permanganate-treated PAHs were much more biodegradable in soil microcosms. To test the concept of using candles to treat PAHs in multiple runoff events, we used a flow-through system where urban runoff water was pumped over a miniature candle in repetitive wet-dry, 24-h cycles. Results showed that the candle was robust in removing PAHs by repeatedly releasing permanganate and degrading the PAHs. These results provide proof-of-concept that permanganate candles could potentially provide a low-cost, low-maintenance approach to remediating PAH-contaminated water.

“…Once ozone enters into water, it becomes highly unstable and rapidly decomposes through a complex series of reactions [36][37][38][39] . According to the literature 38,39 , ozone decomposition in water can be described as follows:…”

“…Thus, ozone can react in an aqueous medium directly with substrates, such as molecularozone, or indirectly, via radical-intermediates formed during ozone decomposition in aqueous media. Thus, depending on the ozone behaviour in the aqueous medium, the selectivity of ozonation can be high (direct reaction) or low (indirect reaction) 36,37 .…”
