Ozone in Water Treatment Processes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Earlier Brown Boveri Symposia ((EBBS))

Abstract

Today, the quality of raw water is deteriorating due to excessive exploitation and pollution. Special treatment of drinking water as well as of waste water is therefore necessary. Reclamation of waste water for irrigation purposes and ground water reinjection are of vital importance for large areas of the world. As a consequence, the treatment technologies for water have to be adapted to these new requirements. Under these conditions ozonation has gained more importance as a versatile water treatment process. It is especially useful in securing better drinking water even under difficult conditions and in improving waste-water quality. In the industrial sector, the increasing quality demands on ultrapure water for pharmaceutical and electronics production can be fulfilled by application of ozone.
