Ozonation of Organic and Polymer Compounds

Book excerpt: The study of the kinetics and mechanism of ozone reactions is an important field in modern science closely related to the solution of the problem of 'ozone holes'. This authoritative handbook covers: Ozonation of alkanes and polyolefins; Ozonation of oxygen-containing organics; Ozonation of alkenes and polydienes in liquid phase; Ozonation of rubbers; Ozonation - quantum chemical approach and more. The intentional application of ozone promotes invention and development of novel and improvement of well known methods for its generation and analysis, means and methods for its more effective application. A number of laboratory and industrial methods for its synthesis have been proposed and are discussed in this book. The first technical title of its kind will be of specific interest to Chemists, Chemical Engineers, R&D Managers and all those involved with this in industry.
