Study was carried out for the removal of hazardous organic compound from aqueous solution by using water/perfluorodecalin loaded ozone two-phase system. p-Chloronitrobenzene was used as hazardous organics to examine the efficiency of the two-phase ozonation system. Effects of initial pH in water, stirring speed, initial molar ratio of O(3)/p-chloronitrobenzene (M), and free radical scavenger on the removal rate of p-chloronitrobenzene were investigated respectively. It was revealed that ozone had low decomposed rate coefficient k = 0.0035 min(-1) and solubility of 61.94 mg/L at 25°C in perfluorocarbon. In contrast to pH 2.0, higher level of pH (8.0) in water increased the removal rate of p-chloronitrobenzene in water/perfluorocarbon two-phase ozonation system. Removal rate of p-chloronitrobenzene was increased with the elevation of initial M value in water/perfluorocarbon two-phase ozonation system. Stirring speed was needed to control with proper level of speed in water/perfluorocarbon two-phase system. Compared to the conventional gas/water ozonation system, NaHCO(3) (20 mmol/L) had no obvious negative effect on the p-chloronitrobenzene degradation in water/perfluorocarbon ozonation system. Oxidation efficiency of ozonation in water/perfluorocarbon system was superior to that of in conventional gas/water system.
