N2 - The decomposition of non-biodegradable mixtures of phenol and naphthalene derivatives in aqueous solution by ozonation is investigated. The toxic water pollutants are the intermediate synthesis products obtained via the sulfonation reaction of naphthalene and phenol. These organic compounds are phenol (PH), p-phenol sulfonic acid (p-PSA), and 2-naphthalene sulfonic acid (2-NSA). The kinetic study of ozonation is realized by the pH variation in the range of 2-12. The pH-dependence of the ozone reactivity for different organics is observed. The intermediates and final products determination is measured by UV absorbency and HPLC technique. It is shown that the main subproducts are muconic, fumaric, maleic and malonic acids and catechol. The final products are basically oxalic acid and formic acids as well as formaldehyde. In the initial stage of ozonation, hydroxylation and desulfuration of p-PSA and 2-NSA is detected. The effect of the preliminary ozonation on the biodegradability of the contaminants is estimated by BOD5/COD-ratio variation, which significantly increases from 0.15 to 0.88.
