Chapter 5: Catalytic Ozonation over Nanocarbon Materials Check Access

Growing research interest has been attracted to developing state-of-the-art nanocarbon catalysts for catalytic ozonation because of their high activity and environmentally benign nature. Additionally, thanks to the versatility of nanocarbons, the interactions of O₃ and organics on their active sites can be investigated in-depth by surface and morphology control, post-functionalization or creating discrete organic molecules that contain analogous active sites on the nanocarbon. In this chapter, various types of nanocarbon-based catalyzed ozonation processes are described. Moreover, the intrinsic nature of the interaction of O₃ on the active sites of nanocarbons and reaction pathways for organic destruction are discussed.
