Ozonation By-Products

  • Chapter
Book cover Haloforms and Related Compounds in Drinking Water

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC5,volume 5 / 5G))

Abstract

The main ozonation by-products known today, in drinking water, originate from natural organic matter and bromide ions. The natural organic matter, constituted of macromolecules including aromatic sites and amino acids (highly reactive with ozone), is the precursor of aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids. The bromide ions are precursors of bromates. The joint presence of the two precursors can lead to formation of organo-brominated compounds.

After summarizing the chemistry of ozone and hydroxyl radical in aqueous environment and the use of the ozone in drinking water treatment, this chapter presents the main knowledge acquired on organic ozonation by-products and on bromates. In every case, the following aspects are presented: (i) the main results of the fundamental research, (ii) some data obtained for real waters (from pilot plant studies or from waterworks), on the formation of ozonation by-products during drinking water production, and (iii) some recommendations for controlling disinfection by-products.
