Abstrakt: Metalworking fluids are prone to bacterial contamination during the operational time. They are unwanted due their impact on the quality of the fluid, health impact of the microbial toxins, pathogens and degradation products of fluid. Typically bacteria are eliminating by the adding of biocides, which could be also harmless to operators health. Ozone is used as a sterilizing agent in many industrial applications, mostly in water disinfection. Wide varieties of microorganisms can be treated by the ozone. Ozone, a powerful disinfectant, is very efficient to inactivate resistant microorganisms under low concentration and short contact time. We studied the application of ozone to sterilize two types of metalworking fluids (synthetic and emulsion) with avoiding of oxidation power of ·OH radicals which are generated during ozonation process.
