Interaction between gaseous ozone and crystalline potassium bromide

Аннотация

The formation of nonvolatile products of the oxidation of a bromide ion during the interaction between gaseous ozone and powdered crystalline KBr is studied. It is found that potassium bromate KBrO₃ is the main product of the reaction. The influence of major experimental factors (the duration of ozonation, the concentration of ozone, the humidity of the initial gas, and the temperature) on the rate of formation of bromate is studied. The effective constants of the formation of bromate during the interaction between O₃ and Br^– in a heterogeneous gas–solid body system and in a homogeneous aqueous solution are compared.
