Water disinfection by joint effects of ozone and UV radiation in a flow-through mode

We have investigated the efficiency of disinfection and destruction of organic impurities of model and natural waters separately and together by ozone and UV radiation in the flow-through mode on a laboratory unit with the capacity 0.02 m3/h. We agreed on the parameters of ozonization and O3/UV treatment of the Dnieper water in the flow-through mode making for the degree of its decontamination and discoloration corresponding to the standards for drinking water. It has been shown that the use of O3/UV treatment raises the degree of disinfection and purification of the Dnieper water from organic impurities compared with ozonization or UV radiation.
