The operation of these water treatment systems has shown that safe and high quality pool water is obtained reliably and economically. One pool (Main Pool) is of Olympic size, the other (Learner pool) is designed especially for use by children. Both pools utilize a full corona discharge ozone water treatment system. They were the first ozone systems in the U.S. to be built for public pools using the process of ozonation, flocculation, filtration, ozone removal and residual chlorination.
An extensive testing program was initiated in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Health. The bacteriological water quality from these swimming pools was in compliance with Wisconsin State Health Regulations and the German DIN Standard 19,643.
The first year of operation of the Peck Aquatic Center has shown that the corona discharge ozone pool water treatment process can:
1) Operate reliably in a public swimming pool environment without the need for highly or special operator qualifications.
2) Produce continuously bacteria- and virus-free pool water without the harmful and unpleasant effects of chlorine.
3) Creates a user constituency group praising and promoting the use of “minimal chlorine swimming” in the community. 相似文献
Further developments are expected in the field of lamp construction and also improvement of reactor geometry. A better knowledge of the aging of the lamps is required, as well as of the photochemical reactions of oxygen in the technologies applied.
Systems presently available are most promising for application on small scale or in areas of public water distribution which have no developed structure.
High filtration rates were tested in this study. The 2.1m deep filters were run at a hydraulic loading rate (HLR) of 35 m/h with an empty bed contact time (EBCT) of only 3.6 minutes.
The important findings of this work are
?The high-rate biologically active carbon (BAC) filters met the objective of controlling ozone DBPs. These results confirm that high rate, low EBCT filters can provide significant biodegradation. Anthracite biofilters provided significantly less removal of ozone DBPs.
?The high rate BAC filters showed significant reduction of background HAAs. BAC reduced the background HAAs to below the long-term target of 30 μg/L. Anthracite biofilters did not exhibit HAA removal.
?Biological filtration with either media was ineffective for background THM removal. The long-term target of 40 μg/L could not be achieved without GAC adsorption. 相似文献
Ozonated water was produced using a contact system specifically designed for these tests by Ozotech Ltd. Ozone residual concentrations in the order of 0.1 mg/L were found to be capable of removing 80-99% of the biofilm in single applications. However, effectiveness of ozone was dependent on morphology, thickness and age of the biofilms. Intermittent application of ozone, using residual concentrations < 0.1 mg/L, was found to be capable of weakening the biofilm, but a minimum period of 3-h was required for effective control.
The fluid velocity was found to affect the rate and amount of biofilm removed. The effects of fluid velocities in the range 0.5-2.5 m/sec were examined. In general, the higher the velocity the greater the initial rate of removal and the percentage of the biofilm removed; this suggested that ozone action was mass transfer dependent.
The effect of ozone on bacterial cell structure was investigated using scanning electron microscopy techniques. Changes in cell structure were revealed after contact with ozone and residuals above 0.4 mg/L were required for 100% kill of bacterial suspensions.
In conclusion, the effectiveness of ozone for full-scale application will vary depending on the morphology of the biofilm, the velocity of the fluid and the ozone dose applied. An ozone dosing regime for commercial application is suggested. 相似文献
It has been indicated that the removal of the five species of aromatic nitro compounds by ozonation can well be expressed mathematically by first order reaction equations. Besides, the reaction constants and half-life periods for various species of the tested nitro compounds were calculated at different temperatures and pH.
An ozonation effect index (OI) was developed in the study to express the degree of degradation of substrates by ozonation, by means of which the five aromatic nitro hydrocarbons were compared with each other and finally ranked in the following order from greatest to smallest degrees of degradation:
p-nitroaniline > nitrobenzene > p-dinitrobenzene > p-nitrotoluene > m-dinitrobenzene
It has also found that the CODm/M ratio increases with ozone doses. This means that some easily degradable intermediates are produced, and increase in concentration with increase of ozone dose in the ozonation process.
The mechanisms of removing the five aromatic nitro hydrocarbons are discussed from the viewpoint of orienting effects of substituent groups on the aromatic rings. 相似文献
Greatly enhanced mass transfer coefficients kL are measured whilst simultaneously maintaining low ozone loss. Comparisons of kL and volumetric coefficient, kL a values, are made with more conventional packed or bubble columns.
Acetic acid, 2-propanol and 4-nitrophenol, representing a wide reactivity range, are used to elucidate the applicability of rotating contactors in effluent treatment. It has been possible to study the effects of surface activity on mass transfer with subsequent reaction and to generate design data for the next generation of rotating contactors. 相似文献
Material and Methods: Ninety third-molar teeth extracted for various reasons were used in this study. All the teeth were prepared with a standard V cavity on the buccal surface. Then the teeth were randomly allocated to one of 6 groups of 15 teeth; Group 1 benzalkonium chloride, Group 2 chlorhexidine gluconate, Group 3 sodium hypochloride, Group 4 diode laser, Group 5 ozone gas, Group 6 control group- no disinfection was applied. Primer was applied to the cavities, then bond and 10-s polymerization. Clearfil AP-X was used in the cavities as a hybrid composite and polymerized for 20 s. The samples then underwent 1000 thermal cycles of 30-s application, in baths at temperatures between 5 ± 2 °C and 55 ± 2 °C. All the samples were stirred in 0.5% basic phuxine solution and the sections taken under stereomicroscope were examined and photographed at 15 × magnification. SEM analysis was made and the obtained results were statistically evaluated with the Kruskal–Wallis test.
Results: No significant difference was seen between the groups in respect of the microleakage values of both the occlusal and gingival edges (p < 0.05). Comparison of the microleakage values of the occlusal and gingival edges of the groups determined the least leakage to be in the ozone group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: No statistical significance was determined between the groups. However, the mean least microleakage was found in the ozone group and the highest amount in the control group. 相似文献
In this paper, examples of field operating problems and their solutions are described. The experiences at specific municipal water and wastewater installations are reviewed in detail. Discussed for each example are : the background and effects of the problem, the problem-solving process, and the eventual resolution of the problem. The examples include simple unit operations to entire processes.
By observing the ozone installation's operation several years after start-up, the design of future ozone systems can be improved and operating problems minimized. 相似文献
Prechlorination was not conducted in the ongoing pilotplant experiment of an advanced water purification process with ozone and granular activated carbon. It is necessary, therefore, to oxidize manganese by the oxidative effect of ozone instead of prechlorination.
It is important for the treatment of manganese to adjust the ozone dosage because manganese is oxidized up to the soluble septavalent state by the surplus ozone. Since ozone does not continue to exist for very long in water, though its disinfecting power is high, final disinfection by chlorine is required. 相似文献
Extensive development work has been performed to optimize the dosage of ozone for water treatment. Potential users are kept informed on this technology through published data. Theory, however, is only one side of the problem, practical application quite another. Here technicians and engineers have been required to integrate oxidation and disinfection with ozone, into the technology for water treatment and to make this economic.
In Switzerland since the 1950s, more than 40 waterworks have been converted to ozone. The development and the experience that has been collected since the introduction of this technique is the subject of this paper, primarily in regard to cost development and cost economy through innovative engineering services for development, engineering and project execution. 相似文献
- oxido-flocculation, using Fe2+, H2O2
- inter-oxidation, using O3, H2O2 and eventually an heterogeneous catalyst.
- disinfection, using UV, O3 and H2O2 combinations.
Results show that triazines can be removed by all these processes with different efficiencies. At full scale, the O3/H2O2 process presents the best performances from an economical and technical point of view. 相似文献
The results obtained in the field confirm the synthesis of some aliphatic carbonyl compounds of low molecular weight. This phenomenon happens preeminently during the ozone disinfection process and, secondarily, during the other disinfection processes.
Experimental results show that, in this last event, chlorine reacts with organic substances, and in a second moment, after organics consumption, if chlorine is still in a sufficient concentration, oxidizing them. 相似文献

Group 1: 19 patients with carcinoma of the cervix. Group 2: 20 patients with carcinoma of the ovaries. Group 3: patients with chronic conditions (80% patients with rheumatoid arthritis), shortterm study (34 patients). Group 4: patients with chronic conditions (80% patients with rheumatoid arthritis), long–term study (47 patients). A further breakdown into statistical categories in groups 1 and 2 showed no significant changes in the immunoglobulins examined, including the vitamin A and lysozyme values.
A short-term influence in group 3 became evident through a significant increase in immunoglobulin G, whereas no significant decrease was observed in all immunoglobulins in group 4. An immunosuppressive effect of the ozone applied could not be detected in any of the 4 groups. 相似文献

The raw water obtained from 100 different wells will be purified by a water treatment plant of 150,000 m3/day capacity. Considering the high iron content (0.05–0.15 mg/L) and manganese content (0.05–0.2 mg/L), the raw water fails to comply with the requirements of the potable water standard.
Since 1990, over a period of three years, we conducted water purification experiments in several stages. In these, three methods of oxidizing as well as single and double layer open rapid filters were applied to oxidize the manganese (and, to a lesser extent, the water) present in dissolved form, resp., to destroy various living organisms.
In the course of the experiments, it became clear that the chlorine and chlorine + air methods are efficient in case of a small quantity of iron to be oxidized and only 20–25% of the dissolved manganese content could be oxidized.
Neither of the two methods could ensure firm management of microbiological and bacteriological characteristics. The best results were obtained by ozone oxidation, in which case the chemical oxidizing process was almost fully completed and even the chlorine-resistant living organisms could be destroyed.
On the basis of the experiments carried out, the investment program of the water treatment plant was worked out and the conditions of an international tender were compiled whose winner will be commissioned to build up the water works in the time period 1993–1996. One of the main steps of the proposed technology is the ozone treatment. 相似文献
For equivalent contact times, it was found that two orders of magnitude more E. coli survived under the second post-ozonation condition when compared with the first condition. There was also a significant difference associated with the mixing intensity in the contactor, with the higher power input resulting in less efficient inactivation of E. coli.
The results confirm the importance of designing an ozone contactor to promote the maintenance of aqueous ozone in the contactor. In addition, optimum ozone mass-transfer may require different contacting conditions than those required for optimum disinfection performance. It was concluded that the design of ozone contactors should consider the use of at least two-stages: one optimized for ozone mass-transfer and one optimized for disinfection contacting. 相似文献
The effect of ozonation on membrane flux was found to be largely dependent on raw water quality as well as ozone dose. In case of upstream water (A), preozonation achieved significant flux enhancement regardless of ozone dose. Whereas, for the downstream water (B), the steady state flux was increased or decreased depending on ozone dose.
The analysis based on the resistance-in-series model provided the mechanistic interpretation on the membrane flux variation. Ozonation in an ozone-ultrafiltration system always brought about a decrease in cake resistance (Rc) and an increase in fouling resistance (Rf). Based on the measurement of particle size distribution and zeta potential, the reduction in cake resistance through ozonation was attributed to an increase in particle size due to “ozone-induced particle destabilization”. However, the increase in the fouling resistance seems to be caused partly by the microbial characteristics of raw water.
Although there was little effect on TOC, ozone-UF treatment could get much higher removal of UV 254, THMFP (lday) and THMPF/TOC ratio than UF treatment alone. 相似文献
Two factors appear to control the rate of this catalytic reaction process: (1) the size and dispersion of the silver crystals and surface area of the supporting bed; and (2) the volume of oxygen in solution. The source of the oxygen can be atmospheric oxygen dissolved in the water or, for a greatly enhanced reaction rate, dissolved ozone produced by an ozone generator. In this process, oxygen molecules absorbed onto the catalyst surface are subsequently transferred to other oxidizable substrates including bacteria and viruses.
These catalytic oxidizing reactions exhibit two properties of significance in the sanitation of water. First, because oxygen on the catalyst surface reacts with both living and nonliving substrates, bacteria or viruses which are in the water flowing over the catalyst-containing medium are killed or inactivated on contact by the oxidizing reactions (i.e., without requiring the release of metals into water). Second, oxygen also is transferred to oxidizable inorganics (such as bromide ion) to generate readily measurable and relatively stable “residual” oxidizers/disinfectants that continue to sanitize water downstream.
