  • Public Water Disinfection using Peroxone

    Credits: 2 PDH

    PDH Course Description:

    Addition of hydrogen peroxide to ozonated water increases the rate of ozone decomposition and generates hydroxyl free radicals in what is known as the peroxone advanced oxidation process. The use of this rapid, strongly oxidizing process is covered in this course.

    Topics:

    • Be familiar with the chemistry of the peroxone disinfection/oxidation process.
    • Be familiar with the similarities and differences between the molecular ozone and peroxone processes.
    • Be familiar with general guidelines for the application of the peroxone process.
    • Be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of peroxone use in comparison with other disinfection/oxidation processes.
