The combination of sonolysis and ozonolysis as an advanced oxidation process was investigated to gain insight into factors affecting enhancement of the combined system. Sonolysis, ozonolysis, and a combination of the two were used to facilitate the degradation of three known organic contaminants, nitrobenzene (NB), 4-nitrophenol (4NP), and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), in water. Experiments were perfo...

An easily recoverable photo-catalyst in solid form has been synthesized and applied catalytic ozonation the presence of primidone. Maghemite, graphene oxide titania (FeGOTi) constituted solid. Additionally, (TiO2) oxide–titania (GOTi) catalysts were also tested for comparative reasons. The main characteristics FeGOTi 144 m2/g surface area; a 1.29 Raman D G band intensity ratio; 26-emu g−1 magne...

The experimental degradation of a water soluble dye, potassium indigo tetrasulfonate salt, has been studied using stand-alone ozonation and photocatalytic oxidation process. Progress of the dye oxidation was followed by UV-VIS spectrophotometric measurements at controlled operating conditions. The organic content of reaction samples was measured to verify the process efficiency in dye mineraliz...

Laundry detergent wastewater is a potential renewable resource that can be recycled and reused in order to mitigate water scarcity. The treatment of laundry very challenging because its multicomponent composition, large discharge volumes the environment resulting from increasing usage as global population grows, ineffectiveness conventional technologies. Ozonation one most effective advanced ox...

The changes in triazine and acetamide concentrations in water during natural and artificial treatment by bank filtration, ozonation, filtration, and chlorination were measured at the well field and drinking water treatment plant of Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. The city’s groundwater supply is affected by induced infiltration and transport of triazines and acetamide herbicides from the Platte River i...

In-package ozonation is an antimicrobial packaging system that uses atmospheric cold plasma technology to generate ozone and other gases inside a sealed package to inhibit microbial growth on packaged food. Previous unpublished research has shown that in-package ozonation effectively kills and inhibits microbes on raw chicken breast meat. However, ozone has a high oxidation potential and may in...

After human consumption, pharmaceutically active substances can be excreted and enter the effluent treatment facilities. Often degradation in sewage and water treatment and the environment is incomplete, resulting in the formation of transformation products. Within the Pharmas project (EU grant agreement no. 265346) three anticancer drugs were evaluated for the formation of stable transformatio...

Melanoidin is a compound produced by food industries and distilleries, which has negative impacts on the water environment due to high content of dissolved organic carbon dark color. Consequently, this work aims study catalytic properties multilayer graphene (MLG), molybdenum oxide (MoO2), manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) in ozonation process remove melanoidin from solution. The results show that re...

Fe (III)-catalyzed ozonation yielded better degradation rate and extent of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) or oxalic acid as compared with oxidation by ozone alone. Two parameters with strong effects on the efficiency of ozonation are pH of the solution and the catalyst (Fe(3+)) dosage. The existence of a critical pH value determining the catalysis of Fe (III) in acid conditions was observed in ph...

In Mexico, the manufacturing of mezcal generates huge amounts of mezcal vinasses (MV), that cause a negative environmental impact. Although there is no specific information for mezcal vinasses, similar effluents have been treated by anaerobic digestion (AnD) usually complemented by oxidative chemical post-treatments such as ozonation. In the present work the post-treatment of anaerobically pret...
