Ozone has many industrial applications. It is a sterilizing and deodorizing agent. It is used for disinfection of filtered drinking water and to purify waste-waters. It also is used in water treatment plants for removal of metal impurities by oxidizing them into insoluble compounds. This removes undesired taste, odor, and color from the water. Ozone also is used for odor control.

By using the factor analysis method, the mutagenicity data were applied only on water after disinfection. Then, comparisons were made between treatment lines (Figure 4). By using the same interpretation (i.e., assigning weights of 3, 2, or 1) as that used for the ozone and GAC treatment, the conclusions based on ordered classifications of treatment lines for each month and for the year are the following Treatment line 1 is the best line of the pilot plant and yields a 92 relative ideal complete treatment line, treatment line 2 is 66 , and treatment line 4 is 41 (Table VII). 

Membrane contactors can be effectively used also for disinfection purposes (e.g., water ozonation) [28] or for the oxidation of species present into water, for example, arsenic. Although the content of arsenic in seawater is today within the accepted limits, it is foreseen that in the future its concentration could increase, due to the increase of pollution of rivers and groundwaters. Usually, arsenic is contained in water as As(III) and As(V) forms, in different amounts. All arsenic-removal technologies have a better performance when arsenic is present in the pentavalent...

When added to water, ozone quickly converts to oxygen, leaving behind no residual ozone. This makes it difficult for ozone to provide residual disinfection of RO feed water. Although no triha-lomethanes are produced when using ozone, side reactions have been known to form carcinogenetic compounds such as aldehydes and phthalates.9... 

This evaluation showed that with the ozonator + chlorine system the disinfection is mainly due to the chlorine pellet additions as the pollution level decreases after each addition to strongly increase again after few days with only ozone disinfection. The problem with such system is that the spa water is always cycling between an overload of chlorine (after shock chlorination) and a high bacterial pollution when there is no remaining chlorine in the water. With Mini-DiaCell , the sanitation and stabilization of the water is longer (approximately 7 days), but after this period the bacterial level in the water remains stable at very low level.

A comparison of conventional means of mixing ozone with water for disinfection with two recently developed methods shows that the newer methods permit more effective utilization of ozone. Operating experiences with pilot plants utilizing these systems are described. With the new methods ozone dosage requirements can be reduced by as much as one half, while maintaining full bactericidal efficiency.

Recently, the reduction by activated carbon filters of bromate (BrOj ), an ozone disinfection molecule produced by reactions between ozone and bromide initially present in water, has received increasing attention. Bromate reduction (BrOj /Br") was effective in a virgin activated carbon grain filter or in a BAG filter. The presence of natural organic matter (NOM) or inorganic ions (nitrate. 

The robustness of the method has been tested with varions matrices spiked Evian water, ozonated waters and final waters (ozonated and then treated with sodinm hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide). The resnlts are compared in Table 2.3 in which matrices A to C naturally contained bromate whereas Evian water was spiked at 5 and 10 ag/L (Ingrand etal, 2002). For Evian water and ozonated waters, concentrations obtained using the field method were in good agreement with the theoretical spiking. However, for final waters treated with sodium hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide, results showed that the disinfection step using sodium hypochlorite is a major somce of interference (deviations from 460 to 744 %). Disinfection using chlorine dioxide leads to lower interference (deviation 19%). 

Ozone Ozone is a colorless gas that is extremely unstable and is a strong oxidizing agent that is capable or reacting with a wide variety of organic and inorganic solutes in water. Effectiveness of ozone disinfection is a function of the pH, temperature of water and method for ozone application.
