Abstract
The ozonation of a polyethoxylated alcohol (typical of one type of det ergent) mixture was performed in aqueous solution under different cond itions of pH, reaction time and hydrogen peroxide addition. Surfactant degradation was monitored by TOC measurements. The optimal degradatio n conditions were found to be at pH = 7.5 with hydrogen peroxide addit ion. Inspection of the reaction products was carried out by GC-MS and GC-FTIR analysis of the silylated mixtures. The main oxidation product s of ethoxylated alcohols are dicarboxylic acids.
