These oxidation processes have complex
reaction systems and many refractory intermediates.
Ozonating technology is getting more and more
widely used in waste water treatment area,
especially in difficult biodegradable pollutants
treatment. This is because it has strong oxidizing
properties and rapid reaction rates and no secondary-
pollution will be produced (Lucas et al., 2010;
Cao
et al., 2016; Lee et al., 2016). However, due to the
low diffusion rate of ozone in water and high
operating costs, the application of it is subjected to
many restrictions. In recent years, people have
begun to study the combination of ozone and other
methods to improve the utilization of O

paper, and the optimum conditions of the system
were found out as well. The synergistic effect of this
system was researched to study the degradation
kinetics and provide a reference for the intermittent
treatment of UDMH waste water.

is made of 316L stainless steel. And it can
be divided into three sections connected by flanges.
The diameter of the upper section is 500 mm and the
middle section is the reaction zone whose diameter
is 900 mm. In the tank, six UV amalgam lamps
(HANOVIA, 300W, radiation intensity:900μWꞏcm

)
are installed, in which four have the wavelength of
185 nm and two the wavelength of 254 nm. Each
aeration tank has 12 aeration cylinders with a
diameter of 150 mm. Exhaust pressure of the air
compressor is 0.7 MPa. The volume flow and ozone

2.3 Experimental Process
The experimental process is shown below: (1) Pre-
treatment process. The hydrogen peroxide solution
(30% by mass) and saturated sodium hydroxide
(analytical grade) was added into the UDMH
sewage lorry or the sewage reservoir. The latter was
1% of the former by mass (
GB 6920-86
). After a
certain period of air aeration, the pre-treatment
process was completed. (2) Reaction process. The
oxidation process was carried out in sequence of
intermittent runs, in which about 2.0 m

waste water
was oxidized per cycle. After the pre-treatment,
