Abstract
The influence of temperature, pH, alkalinity, and type and concentration of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the rate of ozone (O3) decomposition, O3-exposure, •OH-exposure and the ratio Rct of the concentrations of •OH and O3 has been studied. For a standardized single ozone dose of 1 mg/L in all experiments, considerable variations in O3-exposure and •OH-exposure were found. This has important implications for water treatment plants regarding the efficiency of oxidation and disinfection by O3. In oligotrophic surface waters and groundwaters, minimal calibration experiments are needed to model and control the ozonation process, whereas in eutrophic surface waters more frequent measurements of O3 kinetics and Rct values are required to evaluate seasonal variations.Keywords
