1976). If oxygen is to be used directly as a means of destroying phenol in waste waters, some detailed knowledge of the reaction intermediates and the ultimate fate of the phenol must be known so that it is clear what products may be present in the “treated” effluent and how this new effluent might itself be treated, if necessary. Knowledge of the reaction pathway also offers the possibility of the manipulation of the oxidation to allow more complete destruction of phenol or perhaps the preferential production of a particular product through appropriate variation of the process conditions. Previous investigations of the reaction between molec-ular oxygen and phenolin the liquid phase, for example by Sadana (1974), have concentrated on demonstrating that phenol can be destroyedby oxygen and measuring the rate of reaction between phenol and oxygen. Very little has been done to elucidate the reaction pathway by which the destruction of phenol occurs. Several workers, including Gould and Weber (1976) and Li et al.(1979), have used ozone(03) to oxidize phenol; Eisenhauer (1968) proposed the reaction be used for the treatment of aqueous wastes. The majority of work using ozone to oxidize phenol has been carried out at ambient temperatures, since ozone is a powerful oxidant even at these temperatures.At high temperatures in aqueous solutions, the form in which oxygen participates in chemical reactions is complex. The elevated temperatures necessary can lead to theformation of oxygen radicals, 0·, which in turn can react with water and oxygen to form peroxide, H202, and ozone, 03, so that these four species O·, 02, and 03, and H202 are all capable of participating in the phenol oxidation. Phenol Oxidation Products Table I is a summary of reaction products that have been reported from the oxidation of phenol by oxygen and ozone. Some compounds have been found in both oxida-tion systems. The presence of muconic and fumaric acids has only been inferred and maleic acid is included because
