title: Decomposition of 2-naphthalenesulfonate in aqueous solution by ozonation with UV radiation.
abstract: This study investigates the ozonation of 2-naphthalenesulfonate (2-NS) combined with ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Naphthalenesulfonic acids are of importance as dye intermediates for the dye and textile auxiliary industries. Its derivatives, such as 2-NS, have been found in rivers and tannery effluents causing pollution problems. Thus, the 2-NS is of concern for the aquatic pollution control especially in the surface and waste waters. Ozonation combined with UV radiation is employed for the removal of 2-NS in the aqueous solution. Semibatch ozonation experiments were proceeded under different reaction conditions to study the effects of ozone dosage and UV radiation on the oxidation of 2-NS. The concentrations of 2-NS and sulfate are analyzed at specified time intervals to elucidate the decomposition of 2-NS. In addition, values of pH and oxidation reduction potential are continuously measured in the course of experiments. Total organic carbon is chosen as a mineralization index of the ozonation of 2-NS. The mineralization of 2-NS via the ozonation is remarkably enhanced by the UV radiation. These results can provide useful information for the proper removal of 2-NS in the aqueous solution by the ozonation with UV radiation.
