Line 1. Gas-liquid mass-transfer processes in ozonation reactors
The ozonation process together with the advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are technologies developed in the last decades for the treatment of industrial wastewater with the presence of nonbiodegradable pollutants. In the ozonation process, the ozone gas generated just prior its use, must be transferred to water to react with the contaminants. The relative velocity of gas-liquid ozone transfer respect to chemical reaction rate determines the size of the equipment needed for the treatment and its optimal control.
In this area, the group develops gas-liquid transfer models, software tools for data analysis and process control of ozonation reactors. The results of this working line were applied to colour depletion in WWTP effluent, textile dyes and biofilm formation.
