Abstract
Simulated ozone decomposition profiles in 'pure' water were made using two analytical kinetic ozone decomposition models and contrasted with experimental and literature data. Fundamental and applied applications of ozone consumption models are presented, demonstrating the importance of both direct and indirect oxidation of inorganic and organic species. A novel approach to simulating ozone decomposition in the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) is presented, concluding that NOM predominantly behaves as a direct consumer of ozone and promoter of ozone decomposition.
