Abstract
There are numerous reports on coagulation/flocculation effects of preozonation, which cannot be interpreted by one single mechanism. About 7 basic processes are presently discussed. This paper presents results from drinking and wastewater treatment, indicating that preozonation effects can be explained with algae flocculation, with the destabilization of particles, and with polymerization of the dissolved organics. In view of the complexity of the systems, it is anticipated that several processes can be responsible, leading to an optimum ozone dosage.Keywords
