Abstract A stopped-flow spectrophotometer system was applied to study the kinetics of the ozonation between dissolved ozone and m -cresol in aqueous solution under the condition T =298K and pH values varying from 3 to 7. The overall ozonation reaction of m -cresol was found to be second order and be first order in each reactant concentration respectively. The ozonation rate constant of m -cresol increased rapidly with the solution pH. With a fixed concentration (0.001M) of m -cresol,as the pH value increased from 3 to 7, the overall rate constant increased from 6.28×10~3 (mol/L)~(-1)·s~(-1) to 9.15×10~5 (mol/L)~(-1)·s~(-1) at 298K.
