What is Ozone?
Ozone (O3), derived from Greek word 'Ozein', meaning 'fresh air', is a very unique compound. It is a trivalent form of oxygen atoms with strong oxidizing and self-decomposing properties. Ozone can be found everywhere. In the upper atmosphere, it serves as a shield for protecting us from UV light. It can be used as bleach, a deodorizing agent and sterilization agent in our daily life and industries.
Water containing ozone is called 'Ozone Water'. Ozone Water has a very strong disinfection and sterilization power and can destroy 99.9% of bacteria and pathogens within a very short period of time. Ozone Water carries a special smell of ozone, which disappears in a few minutes.
Why can Ozone Water sterilize?
Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer. It can penetrate and create holes in bacterial walls, and finally destroy the bacteria. Ozone is 600-3,000 times more germicidal than chlorine, and the sterilization ability of Ozone Water is much stronger than chlorine. Using Ozone Water for cleaning, 95%-99% of the bacteria on the surface will be killed within a few seconds, and the remaining 1%-5% will be destroyed in a few minutes.
What is the importance of treating water with Ozone?
Many water sources have bad smells and a high pathogen level. Ozone can kill virulent pathogen, stabilize chemical residues such as chlorine and chloroform, and remove malodorous smells in water. Drinking Ozone Water can increase energy level because of drinking the extra oxygen.
How is the application of Ozone in water treatment in the world?
It has been proved that ozone is the most effective way to sterilize water. Over one thousand of water treatment works in
