The aqueous ozone decomposition in the presence of a Co2O3-Alumina catalyst was investigated. Activity and estability assays were conducted by reusing the same catalyst in consecutive runs. The catalyst was shown to significantly increase the ozone abatement rate without loss in activity after five consecutive experiments. The process can be acceptably simulated by a double homogeneous-heterogeneous decomposition mechanism. An increase in the working temperature resulted in an opposite effect by increasing the extension of the homogeneous decomposition and lowering the extension of the heterogeneous decomposition. Similarly, different trends were observed by adding two distinct free radical scavengers (terc-butyl alcohol and carbonates).

The goal of the present work is to quantify the performance of ozonation as a method for the in situ remediation of soils polluted at varying degree with different types of hydrocarbons, and assess its applicability, in terms of remediation efficiency, cost factors, and environmental impacts. Ozonation tests are conducted on dry soil beds, for three specific cases: sandy soil contaminated with low, moderate and high concentration of a non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) consisting of equal concentrations of n-decane, n-dodecane, and n-hexadecane; sandy soil polluted with diesel fuel; oil-drilling cuttings (ODC). The transient changes of the concentration of the total organic carbon (TOC), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) in soil and carbon dioxide (CO), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and ozone (O) in exhaust gases are recorded.

Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is an extensively used broad-spectrum, fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for treating diverse bacterial infections. Effluent treatment plants (ETPs) worldwide lack technologies to detect or remediate antibiotics. CIP reaches the aquatic phase primarily due to inappropriate disposal practices, lack of point-of-use sensing, and preloaded activated charcoal filter at ETPs.

Article Synopsis
- Norfloxacin was ozonized in clay suspensions to study its toxicity on Lemna minor, which helps assess antibiotic impact in environments with clay.
- The study found that norfloxacin causes toxicity in Lemna minor through oxidative stress, worsened by ozonation, affecting growth and chlorophyll levels.
- Results indicate that the type of clay catalyst and the oxidation process influence the toxicity outcomes, revealing the potential formation of more harmful byproducts from the antibiotic.

This study considered the effects of fluoride, MgO, sucrose, and rGO on the characteristics of the fluoride-carbon-MgO/rGO predicted (F-C-MgO/rGOP) catalyst and its effectiveness in the catalytic ozonation process (COP) for atrazine elimination from aqueous solutions. Using a mixture design, the catalyst composition was optimized to 13.6% sucrose, 50% Mg (OH)2, 25% NaF, and 11.
