Advanced oxidation with ozone is a process that is commonly used to treat industrial effluent. Here are the general steps to perform the process:
Ensure that the ozone generator is working properly and that the ozone concentration is within the desired range.
Transfer the effluent to be treated to a reaction vessel, such as a tank or a reactor.
Inject ozone into the effluent to create a mixture. This can be done by using a diffuser, which disperses ozone bubbles into the effluent, or an injector, which injects ozone gas directly into the effluent.
Allow the ozone to react with the organic compounds in the effluent. This creates highly reactive hydroxyl radicals, which are effective in breaking down complex organic compounds into simpler, less harmful molecules.
Monitor the ozone concentration and the reaction time to ensure that the effluent is being treated effectively. This can be done using a variety of techniques, such as UV spectrometry or chemical tests.
Once the treatment is complete, remove the treated effluent from the reaction vessel and dispose of it properly.
It's important to note that the specifics of the process may vary depending on the effluent being treated and the equipment being used. Additionally, ozone can be hazardous to humans, so it's important to take proper safety precautions when working with it. Be sure to consult with experts in the field and follow all relevant regulations and guidelines.
