Characteristics of TOC Treatment for Industrial Wastewater Treatment - Characteristics of Industrial Wastewater TOC Treatment Status and TOC Treatment by Ozone and Advanced Oxidati... by Kyeongjin Kim, Jeongho Jeon, Icktae Yeom

“…The direct oxidation reaction of ozone forms intermediate products such as carbonyl groups and carboxyl groups and hydrogen ablation are difficult to convert to inorganic carbon, and the advance oxidation process decomposes easily by OH radicals through the radical substitution of unsaturated hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds, so the removal rate of TOC by the O3+H2O2 advanced oxidation pilot test was 14.7∼93.5%, higher than that of ozone oxidation. …”
