Title: THE EFFECT OF OZONE BUBBLES ON DISINFECTION
Abstract: Response of yeasts and acid-fast organisms to ozone was determined under three different experimental conditions: (1) presence of ozone bubbles and ozone residual, (2) presence of ozone residual, and (3) presence of ozone bubbles without residual, to distinguish between the effects of ozone bubbles and ozone residual on inactivation. Results indicate that inactivation is greater in the presence of ozone bubbles along with residual compared to residual alone for a given concentration of dissolved ozone. A conceptual model based upon film theory is proposed to explain the difference in the degree of inactivation. Finally, the effects of pH and mixing were studied to show that the rate of ozone decomposition has little or no effect on inactivation.
