Abstract
The beneficial effect of combining ozone with ceramic membrane filtration (CMF) to enhance membrane flux performances during water treatment (e.g., wastewater and drinking water) could be related to the formation of hydroxyl (HO) radicals from the interaction of ozone with ceramic membrane. To explore this effect, para-chlorobenzoic acid was used to probe HO radical activity during a combined ozone/CMF process using a 0.1 μm pore size membrane supplied by Metawater, Japan. Tests were then extended to explore the impact on bromate formation downstream CMF, a well-known undesirable by-product from ozone use in water treatment. Ozone reduction by the membrane and its module appeared to be more ..
