Abstract
Water-soluble polymers were degraded by ozone, and the degradation rate defined by the change of weight average polymerization degree per unit time was obtained. The degradation rate of poly(oxyethylene) (PEG) was proportional to the 1.5 to 2.0 power of the polymerization degree, and was 20 to 60 times that of poly(acrylamide) (PAAm). The experimental results of PEG and PAAm were correlated as a function of polymerization degree, temperature, dissolved ozone concentration and OH− ion concentration. The degradation rate of poly(sodium acrylate)(PANa) was proportional to the 2.0 power of the polymerization degree when no other electrolyte was added. However, the degradation rate of PANa decreased with the increase in NaCl concentration, and approached that of PAAm in the range of high NaCl concentrations.
