Ozone's Reaction with Common Chemicals

 

[Editor's Note: This paper, Ozone's Reaction with Common Chemicals,

was

passed out by Dr. Bob Beck at the Beck Tuesday morning breakfast

meeting

somewhere around 1996. Bob said he got it from a helpful fellow at

one of the health

expos where Bob gave a talk. I don't know who wrote it or where it

was

extracted from, but we thank him for his efforts, whoever he may

be.

I scanned the papers and fixed them up after running them through

OCR. I

tried to take care to match the originals, but it's always possible

that I could

have overlooked something or there was an error in the original

documents.

If anyone discovers a boo boo in any of the following formulas or

the

reactions with ozone, don't hesitate to _let me know_

Introduction

Organic Compounds react with Ozone in a process similar to

combustion. The

reaction of an organic compound with ozone and the combustion of

the same

compound yield carbon dioxide and water as the main end products.

Ozone also

combines with most of the Hetro-elements found in organic compounds

to produce

the elemental oxide with the highest oxidation number.

 

Inorganic compounds of lower oxidation numbers react with Ozone to

produce

oxides, however, there are many inorganic compounds which will not

react. This

report indicates the number of O2 molecules consumed to neutralize

one

specific compound molecule. The compounds discussed in this report

have been

divided into groups according to commonly used organic and

inorganic

classifications to show products common to all the compounds in the

group. The reactions

are grouped according to the following classification

I. ACIDS, ALCOHOLS, ALDEHYDES AND KETONES.

 

II. AROMATIC COMPOUNDS

 

III. ALIPHATIC COMPOUNDS

 

IV. CHLORIDES

 

V. NITROGEN CONTAINING COMPOUNDS

VI. SULFUR CONTAINING COMPOUNDS

VII. OTHER

 

VIII. NON-REACTIVE COMPOUNDS
