%0 Abstract
7Pis research deals with the tertiary treatment of effluents using 'OZONE'
and the 'OZONE/U.V.' (oxyphotolysis) process. The ozone was either
generated insitu at the gas-liquid interface or externally produced and fed
into a novel reactor which has a high mass transfer efficiency. The novel
reactor uses the 'Hibee' principle of enhanced mass transfer to a thin
liquid film as it flows across the surface of a rotating disc. Measurements
of mass transfer coefficients for ozone were compared with results
calculated from empirical formula derived from previous studies on the
hydro-dynamics of such a reactor. Also, tertiary treatment work was carried
out and the performance of this rotating disc reactor in contracting ozone
with secondary effluents was evaluated. The reactor performed well with
these effluents.

The ozone for the second set of runs was supplied to the
reactor (through which the dye recirculated) from an external
ozoniser. The saine ozone concentration was used in both
xperiments. Liquid samples were taken at certain time
intervals and their absorbance/transraittance measured with a
Unicam SP310 -;,pzetrophotoneter.

2.7 CONCL!JSIONS
Althoulh the results obtained in this work on tie
feasibility of the simultaneous production of ozone and
treatment of lijuids in electrical discharges were very
encouraging, there was no conceivable way that the present
configuration could be scaled to a practical size required
for treatment of effluents. For this reason and because it
is desirable to have a 'controlled' liquid film, the idea of
the 'rotating disc' reactor (4) was proposed. Liquid films
produced by centrifugal forces on rotating surfaces can be
controlled more effectively than those fonned under the
action of gravity on stationary planes.

I Liquid and gas flow rates and treatment time were noted to
determine the ozone appltaation rates. Samples were taken at
regular time interval, When calculating ozone dosages,
compensation for the Jgs* gJ liquid due to sampling was taken
into account. The ozone dopAge levels calculated represent
i the actual amount og q4One Consumed by the treatment.

Ideally the water used for mass transfer studies must not
contain any contaminants which might catalyse the rate of
ozone self-decomposition. Hence double distilled water was
used for most of the runs. However, for those experiments
whereby the system has to be operated continuously (Section
8.7.5) rather than batchwise, sinjie distilled water was used
because of the difficulties in collecting sufficiently large
volumes of double distilled water. The water used for the
mass transfer experiments was prepared as follows
I
1. For batchwise runs, 20.0 litres of double distilled water
was pre-ozonated in the g-lass isothermal batch reactor
(reservoir) for 15 minutes to satisfy any ozone demand
caused by contaminants. The water was then heated to
almost boiling point to remove the dissolved ozone. it
was then left to cool. A sample was then taken to test
for dissolved ozone. This is to ensure the complete
removal of dissolved ozone before each run.

Other conclusions can be drawn from this study as well.
Fig.(9) shows that a derease in p-i results in a higher
steady state dissolvol none concentration. An increase in
pH results in a lower lovel qf steady state dissolved ozone
concentration attainabl, The reaction rate constant
increases with pH valqa ig,(l ), As can be seen from the
'initial' slopes of thq coqcentration-time curves (Fig. 7 ),
there is an increase in tho rate of ozone decomposition with
pH values. This will rgsplt in a shorter half-life of ozone.

The table shows that the COD/TOC ratios for the ozonised
samples are less than the corresponding ratios for the
original samples. This inoicates that all of the remaining
organics are now morg oxidised than the original samples.
Fig.(14) shows a qqalfttive evaluation of the oxidation
pathway being followed in the TOC removal reaction by
plotting the COD/TOC rattQs over the entire treatment period
of one of the s4mplaq (best representative of all the
samples) . The figure qhqws that the ratio decreases from
2.45 to about 1.70 after qzonation.

oxyphotolysis can decrease the ozone demand for TOC and COo
reduction.
Extreme care was taken to ensure that the whole system was
operating isothermally (20 °C) so as to ensure that any
differences in results obtained from these runs are due to
the effect of U.V. alone and not the effect of an increased
in temperature due to the presence of the U.V. source. The
data-logger proved extremely useful in continuously scannin]
the temperature at different points of the rig.

10.6 OXYPHOTOLYS[S
Earlier published work on single component refractories
showed spectacular oxidation in the presence of ozone and
ultra violet. This has been confirmed in this work using the
rotating disc reactor. However, with the multi-components
used in this study, the results from this study have shown
that ozone/U.V. oxidation is only slightly more effective
than ozonolysis alone. It is suggested that this is because
the U.V. lamp available was not of the optimum wavelength.
Much more work is required before full-scale operation can be
envisaged on multi-component effluents.
