Ozone Generation System Optimization for Advanced Oxidation Applications in Industrial Water Treatment

Abstract

The increasing presence of refractory organic pollutants and toxic contaminants in industrial wastewater has intensified the demand for efficient advanced oxidation technologies in water treatment applications. This study focuses on the optimization of an ozone generation system for enhanced advanced oxidation performance in industrial water treatment processes. The proposed system was designed to improve ozone production efficiency, mass transfer characteristics, and oxidation effectiveness while minimizing energy consumption and operational limitations. A comprehensive experimental and analytical investigation was conducted to evaluate the influence of operational parameters such as discharge voltage, gas flow rate, ozone concentration, contact time, and reactor configuration on contaminant degradation performance. The optimized ozone generation system facilitates the production of highly reactive oxidative species capable of degrading complex organic compounds, color-causing agents, and persistent industrial pollutants. Performance analysis demonstrated significant improvements in chemical oxygen demand reduction, color removal efficiency, and oxidation kinetics under optimized operating conditions. The study also examined the interaction between ozone dosage and wastewater characteristics to determine treatment stability and process reliability across varying industrial effluent compositions. Comparative evaluation with conventional oxidation methods revealed superior pollutant removal efficiency and reduced treatment time through optimized ozone-based advanced oxidation processes. Furthermore, the system exhibited enhanced operational stability and energy-efficient performance suitable for continuous industrial water treatment applications.
