SGER: Enhanced Oxidation of High Molecular Weight Organics using Ozone Isotopomers

0209343马修斯研究的目的是探索臭氧发生器设计中的一种新概念的可行性，该概念应通过使用多孔电极原位产生臭氧来增强传质。此外，将通过使用高活性臭氧同位素物种来提高反应效率。臭氧是一种比氯更有效的氧化剂，在破坏微生物污染物和氧化废水中顽固的有机化合物方面比氯更有效。此外，相对于氯，臭氧是一种无害的氧化剂，因为它不会产生大量有毒化合物作为副产品。然而，臭氧没有得到广泛的使用，因为它的单位处理水体积的成本相对较高，因为臭氧的传质和反应效率很差。这一探索性研究有助于提高臭氧处理废水的成本效益。***

0209343 Mathews The objective of the research is to investigate the feasibility of a novel concept in ozone generator design that should enhance mass transfer by in-situ ozone production using porous electrodes. In addition, enhanced reaction efficiencies will be achieved through the use of highly reactive ozone isotopomer species. Ozone is a powerful oxidant that is more potent than chlorine in the destruction of microbiological contaminants, and in the oxidation of recalcitrant organic compounds in wastewaters. Also, relative to chlorine, ozone is a benign oxidant since it does not generate a large number of toxic compounds as byproducts. However, ozone has not found widespread use due to its relatively high cost per unit volume of water treated, because of poor ozone mass transfer and reaction efficiencies. This exploratory research could help to improve the cost effectiveness of ozone treatment of wastewaters. ***
