Use of ozone
Ozone is one of the most powerful oxidizing agents and can be produced artificially for the treatment of water or air. Its use is present for many applications:
- Water disinfection
- Cleaning pipes and reservoirs
- Treatment of odors
- Chemical and petrochemical processes (oxidation)
- Washing and food storage
Advantages of ozone
Ozone has definite advantages compared to other oxidants, especially chlorine:
- A disinfectant with the highest redox potential of all oxidants usable industrially.
- Unstable, it recombines to form oxygen after use (about 20 min).
- Produced on site, no storage or transport required, resulting in increased safety for the user.
- Unlike chlorine, it doesn't form dangerous derivatives.
Ozone treatments
Ozone is used for various applications, including treatment of water with ozone and treatment of air with ozone.
