Study Notes
Wastewater Ozonation
-
Wastewater Parameters:
- Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC): 8.3 mg L-1
- pH: 7.8
- Bromide concentration: 225 µg L-1
-
Compound Degradation:
- Over 80% degradation achieved through ozonation
-
Ozone Dosage:
- 0.5 g O3 per g of DOC
-
Bromate Formation:
- Remains below 10 µg L-1, complying with drinking water standards
-
Ozone Treatment Efficiency:
- Successful in treating wastewater
Challenges in Wastewater Treatment
-
Increased presence of anthropogenic pollutants and pathogens affecting environmental health
-
Compounds of Concern:
- Bromate
- Biodegradable Organic Carbon (BDOC)
- Carbonyls
Advanced Wastewater Ozonation
-
Ozone generally lacks a reactive structure for certain pollutants, hence secondary oxidants or other methods may be required
-
Oxidative Mechanism:
- Ozone reacts with organic matter to form hydroxyl radicals, which may enhance degradation efficiency
-
Illustration of Ozone Impact:
- Ozone dosage measured in terms of bromate formation
- Notable reduction in trace compounds with increased ozone dosage, indicating effectiveness of ozonation process
Key Results Observation
-
Fluconazole:
- Used as a trace compound in experimental analysis of ozonation impacts
-
Ozone Dosage Efficiency:
- Relationship established between ozone dose (mg O3/mg DOC) and resultant bromate concentration showing a decrease in trace contaminants with optimal doses of ozone
