TECHNOLOGY
THE CHARACTERISTIC OF OZONE
Ozone which has the scientific name O³ is created by combining three oxygen atoms. It has a high oxidising ability, which is effective for disinfecting and sterilising. It can kill most bacteria in the water or in the air. It is accepted as a broad-spectrum, effective disinfectant and contains ozone. Ozone is an important component of our atmosphere. Our atmosphere confines 0.01-0.04ppm of ozone, which balances the level of bacteria and mildew in nature. Ozone is also created electrically in nature during active thunderstorms. The electrical discharge creates that positive sweet smell that we understand as clean fresh air.
The molecule of ozone is inherently unstable and tries to break down into the oxygen molecule as quickly as possible. This is what makes ozone such a great air and water cleaner. The ozone molecules need to be combined with something in order to break down so that they end up oxidising organic compounds and turn them into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Ozone quickly breaks down into oxygen, it’s considerably less toxic than disinfectant chemicals like chlorine. It has been called the cleanest oxidiser and disinfector.
WHAT OZONE CAN DO
- Kill microorganisms
- Kill bacteria
- Kills most Coliform and staphylococcus in the air
- Kills coliform and staphylococcus aureus on the surface of objects
- Kills coliform and staphylococcus and salmonella in the phosphate alleviant
- Kills coliform in water
- Kills bacteria spores
- Kills Brevibacterium spores
- High ability in killing bacteria in the air but not bacteria spores
- Kills 99.999% of brevibacterium spores in the water
- Kills viruses
- Destroys 99.99% of HBsAG and 100% of HAAg
- Destroys Influenzas Virus in the air
- Destroys PV 1 and Hepatitis A virus in the water
- Destroys SA-11 in water
- When the concentration of ozone in the blood serum reaches to 4mg/l it will destroy the HIV at 106cd50/ml
- Kills 100% of aspergillus versicolor and penicillium
- Kills 100% of Aspergillus niger, fusarium f.sp. mwlonogea and fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici
- Kills aspergillus niger and candida bacteria
- Kills parasitic protozoa
- Kills parasitic protozoa and its egg efficiently
- Neutralise smoke and toilet smells
- Remove paint smells
FACTORS WHICH AFFECT OZONE’S DISINFECTION ABILITY
- The concentration of ozone
- Temperature
At a temperature of 30°C-32°C the ozone disinfection ability is best.
In killing HA V and Coliform the best temperature is 10°C
HOW OZONE KILLS MICROORGANISMS
Ozone can combine with amino acid and breaks the protein in these bodies
- Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RN. At higher concentrations, oxone destroys the capsid or exterior protein shell by oxidation.
- In Gram negative organisms, fatty acid alkyl chains and helical lipoproteins are present
- Ozone may also penetrate the cellular envelope, directly affecting cytoplasmic integrity, disrupting any one of the numerous levels of its metabolic complexities
APPLICATIONS
Water Treatment
- Ozone can effectively kill bacteria and virus, can remove the organic impurities in the water.
- It can remove odour and be used as a bleaching agent too.
- Chlorine is widely used in water treatment practice; it generates harmful substances such as chloroform in the process of treating water. Ozone will not generate Chloroform. Ozone is more germicidal than chlorine. It has been widely used in water plants in the USA and EU.
- Chemical Ozone can break the bonds of organic compounds to combine from new compounds. It is widely used as an oxidant in the chemical, petrol, papermaking and pharmaceutical industries.
Food Industry
- Because ozone is a safe, powerful disinfectant, it can be used to control biological growth of
- unwanted organisms in products and equipment used in the food processing industries.
- Ozone is particularly suited to the food industry because of its ability to disinfect microorganisms without adding chemical by-products to the food being treated or to the food processing water or atmosphere in which food is stored.
- In aqueous solutions, ozone can be used to disinfect equipment, process water and some food items and neutralise pesticides
- In gaseous form, ozone can act as a preservative for certain food products and can also sanitize food packaging materials.
- Some products currently being preserved with ozone include eggs during cold storage, fresh fruits and vegetables and fresh seafood.
Medical
- Ozone has been used in hospitals and clinics as a disinfectant in China, Germany and other developed and developing countries.
- Ozone is more germicidal than formalin, acidum peroxyacetic and potassium permanganate.
