Ozone Oxidation – An Effective Solution for Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Industrial wastewater is one of the most significant environmental pollution challenges. Industries such as textiles, paper, mechanical processing, and food production consume large amounts of water, and their wastewater is often contaminated with dyes, surfactants, and other persistent chemicals. These substances not only degrade water quality but also pose a threat to ecosystems and public health.

One of the major issues is the presence of colored and foaming wastewater, which limits natural self-purification processes and reduces light penetration in rivers and lakes. Traditional biological treatment methods often fail to efficiently remove these pollutants, necessitating the use of advanced treatment solutions.

Ozone oxidation is an innovative and highly effective method that breaks down organic substances, eliminates pathogenic microorganisms, and reduces both coloration and foaming in wastewater. Experimental studies have shown that an ozone dosage of 10–20 mgO3/l can completely remove color pollutants, decrease surfactant concentrations, and significantly reduce bacterial presence, including E. coli.

This method not only ensures compliance with wastewater treatment standards but also enables the possibility of water reuse for industrial or civil applications. It is a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution that helps reduce pollution and conserve valuable water resources.
