Principle Air containing Ozone is drown through a midget impinger containing 10 ml of 1% potassium iodide in a neutral (pH 6.8)buffer composed of 0.1M disodium hydrogen phosphate and 0.1M potassium dihydregen phosphate. The iodine librated in the absorbing reagent is determined spectrophotometrically at 352 nm.

O3+3KI+H2O=KI3+2KOH+O2 The analysis must be completed within 30 min to 1hrs after sampling. Range and sensitivity: The range extend from 0.01ppm to about 10 ppm. The sensitivity of method is depend on the volume of air sampled.

The Precision of the method within the recommended range is about 5%deviation from the mean. The accuracy of this method has not been established. Calibration is based on the assumed stoichiometry of the reaction with the absorbing solution.

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate ( KH2PO4 ), Bisodium hydrogen phosphate ( Na2NH4 ) Potassium iodide Sodium hydroxide

Dissolve 14 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate( KH2PO4 ), 14.20 g of disodium hydrogen phosphate ( Na2NH4 ) and 10 g of potassium iodide successively and dilute the mixture to 1 litre with distilled water. Age at room temperature for at least 1 day before use. Measure the pH and adjust to 6.8 with sodium hydroxide or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution. This absorbing solution may be stored for several weeks in a glass stoppered brown bottle in the refrigerator and for shorter periods at room temperature without deterioration. The absorbing solution should not be exposed to sunlight.

Dissolve 16 g of potassium iodide and 3.173 g of iodine successively and dilute the mixture with distilled water to exactly 500 ml to make a 0.05N solution. Age at room temperature least one day before use.

Pipette exactly 10 ml of the absorbing solution into the bubbler. Sample at a rate of 0.5 to 3 litres/min for up to 30 minutes. The flow rate and time of sampling should be adjusted to obtain a sufficiently large concentration of oxidant in the absorbing solution. Approximately 2 g of ozone may be obtained in the absorbing solution at an atmospheric concentration of 0.01 ppm by sampling for 30 minutes at 3 litres/min.

Prepare a 0.0025 N iodine solution by pipetting exactly 5 ml of the 0.05 N standard solution ( normality should be checked before use ) into a 100 ml volumetric flask and diluting to the mark with absorbing solution. Prepare four or more standard solutions in 25 ml volumetric fasks by pipetting 0.1 to 1 ml portions of the 0.0025 N iodine solution into the flasks, diluting to the mark with absorbing solution and mixing. Immediately after preparation of this series, read the absorbance of each at 352 nm. The solutions should cover the 0.1to 1 unit

If significant evaporation of solution occurs, add double distilled water to bring the liquid volume to 10 ml. Read the absorbance at 352 nm against double distilled water within a 30 to 60-minute period after collection in a I-cm cuvette or tube.
Ozone liberates iodine through both a fast and a slow set of reactions. Some of the organic oxidants also have been shown to cause slow formation of iodine. Some indication of the presence of such oxidants and of gradual fading due to reductants may be obtained by taking several readings during an extended period of time. Determine the blank correction (to be subtracted from sample absorbance) every few days by reading the absorbance of unexposed reagent.

Subtract the absorbance of the blank from the absorbance of the standards. Plot corrected absorbance's against the normality's of the standardized solutions.
From the line of the best fit the normality corresponding to an absorbance of exactly one shall be determined. To obtain a value, M, representing microlitres of ozone required by 10 ml of absorbing solution to produce an absorbance of one, multip!y this normality by the factor 1.224 X 103.

For I-cm cells, M should be approximately 9.6

Results for air samples may be computed from equation:

Oxidant ( as O3), ppm = AM/V

where A = corrected absorbance, and v = volume of air sample in litres ) per 10 ml of absorbing solution corrected to 25C and 760 mmHg (correction is ordinarily small and may be omitted). NOTE - 1 mg/litre = 509 ppm of ozone at 25C and 760 mmHg
