Serial ozone/peroxide/low pressure UV was tested for an advanced oxidation process (AOP) application on pre-treated surface water in a pilot plant. The pilot plant consisted of an ozone loop reactor followed by a low pressure UV (LP-UV) reactor. Fourteen model compounds and 6 or 10 ppm hydrogen peroxide were dosed to the water. Ozone doses varied from 0.5 to 2.0 g/m 3 and UV doses varied, depending on the UV transmission (73–83%) of the water, between 700 and 950 mJ/cm 2 . The treatment process was evaluated on bromate formation, compound conversion and energy demand. The bromate formation during the O 3 /H 2 O 2 process was kept lower than 0.5 μg/L by using a peroxide dose of 6 ppm and an ozone dose of 1.5 mg/L. With a 1.5 mg/L ozone dose and 6 ppm of peroxide, 8 out of 14 compounds were converted by more than 90% with an energy consumption of 0.027 kW h/m 3 . During the subsequent UV/H 2 O 2, the E EO for atrazine was 0.52 kW h/m 3 ; together with the O 3 /H 2 O 2 , the E EO for serial AOP was 0.55 kW h/m 3 , which was 0.73 kW h/m 3 for UV/H 2 O 2 only. During O 3 /H 2 O 2 treatment, the DOC decreased with 0.2 mg/L and the UV-T 254 increased with almost 5%, illustrating the synergistic effect of serial AOP. When 3 UV reactors in series were used, with each reactor dosing 1/3 of the total dose, the total conversion increased 5–15%. |
