Abstract

Abstract It was demonstrated that, in natural waters, the overall kineticsof dissolved ozone consumption can be characterized by the “specific ozone utilization rate”, w[time −1]. The dependency of w on the chemical quality of the raw water was analyzed. And, the variation of w values measured in different water samples was explained in terms of the pH, alkalinity, and total organic carbon content of the solution matrix.
