本研究的目的是深入了解臭氧诱导颗粒失稳的机制。研究了背景溶解有机物的性质和颗粒本身的性质。商业腐殖酸制剂和天然溶解有机物对臭氧氧化的反应似乎不同。所进行的分析表明，亚稳有机物的聚合是天然水-膨润土系统中臭氧诱导颗粒失稳的主要机制。包括73个参考文献、表格和图表。

The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the mechanisms that are operative in ozone-induced particle destabilization. Both the nature of background dissolved organic matter and the nature of the particles themselves were investigated. It appears that commercial humic acid preparations and natural dissolved organic matter respond differently to ozonation. The analyses performed suggest that polymerization of metastable organics is the primary mechanism responsible for ozone-induced particle destabilization in a natural water-bentonite system.
