研究了臭氧和过氧化氢（称为peroxone）的组合作为去除常见燃料氧化物甲基叔丁基醚（MTBE）的替代处理方法。作者在加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡市的地下水中研究了臭氧和过氧化物氧化对MTBE的影响。在大型半间歇式反应器中进行的实验表明，与单独使用臭氧相比，peroxone（在peroxone比率为1.0时，应用的臭氧剂量大于或等于10 mg/L）在氧化MTBE方面更为稳定有效。 然而，为了使MTBE水平低于加利福尼亚州饮用水的5 ug/L二级标准，对于大约200和2000 ug/L的MTBE峰值浓度，需要使用大于10 mg/L的臭氧剂量。臭氧和peroxone都可以将MTBE降解为可生物降解的产品，如甲酸叔丁酯、叔丁醇、丙酮、，和醛（包括甲醛、乙醛、庚醛、乙二醛和甲基乙二醛）。此外，与单独使用臭氧相比，peroxone可以更快地氧化MTBE。 当使用peroxone时，生成的溴酸盐浓度在未检测到的浓度到13 ug/L（在含有~0.3 mg/L溴化物的水中）之间，超过了10 ug/L的最大污染物水平。结果表明，使用过氧化氢与臭氧的比率和gt1可以有效控制溴酸盐的生成。0.包括27个参考文献、表格和图表。

A combination of ozone and hydrogen peroxide (known as peroxone) was studied as a treatment alternative for removing methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), a common fuel oxygenate. The authors investigated the effects of oxidation of ozone and peroxone on MTBE in Santa Monica, California, groundwater. Experiments conducted in a large-scale, semibatch reactor demonstrated that peroxone (at a peroxone ratio of 1.0, with applied ozone doses of greater than or equal to 10 mg/L) was more consistently effective in oxidizing MTBE than was ozone alone. To achieve MTBE levels below the California secondary standard of 5 ug/L for drinking water, however, applied ozone doses of > 10 mg/L would be necessary for spiked MTBE concentrations of approximately 200 and 2,000 ug/L. Both ozone and peroxone can degrade MTBE into biodegradable products such as t-butyl formate, t-butyl alcohol, acetone, and aldehydes (including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, heptaldehyde, glyoxal, and methyl glyoxal). In addition, peroxone can oxidize MTBE more rapidly than can ozone alone. When peroxone was used, the concentrations of bromate formed ranged from nondetected to 13 ug/L (in water containing ~0.3 mg/L bromide), exceeding the maximum contaminant level of 10 ug/L. Results indicated that bromate formation could be effectively controlled with hydrogen peroxide-to-ozone ratios >1.0. Includes 27 references, tables, figures.
