soluble in water than oxygen. The effect of temperature on ozone solubility is shown in
Figure 10.18.
As illustrated in Figure 10.19, once ozone enters solution, it follows two basic modes
of reaction: direct oxidation, which is rather slow and extremely selective, and autode-
composition to the hydroxyl radical. Autodecomposition to the hydroxyl radical is cat-
alyzed by the presence of hydroxyl radicals, organic radicals, hydrogen peroxide, UV
light, or high concentrations of hydroxide ion. The hydroxyl radical is extremely fast and
