Abstract:
The use of high concentration ozone (HCO) in potable water treatment has been examined at laboratory scale with a gaseous concentration of 19% w/w. This has been compared with conventionally generated ozone at 1.5% w/w. The results of the study have shown that greater transfer efficiencies and higher ozone residuals are possible with HCO. In addition, faster rates of atrazine removal and significantly greater reductions in color and trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) were observed with HCO.
