Abstract

This study compared bromate formation between ozonation and UV with suspended titanium dioxide (TiO2) oxidation in seawater. It also studied the physical and chemical sustainability of TiO2 nanoparticles following the oxidation process with UV light. The study was carried out using a collimated beam for UV light and an ozone generator that utilized the corona discharge method. Seawater was used for photocatalysis and ozonation experiments to relate bromate formation to aquaculture applications. Artificial brackish water was used to relate bromate formation to drinking water sources that face seawater intrusion. A key finding from the study was that disinfection by UV-TiO2 produced a lower concentration of DBPs than disinfection by ozone. In particular, this study found that ozonation produced up to 4.5 mgL-1 of bromate, whereas UV-TiO2 did not produce bromate at detectable concentrations (<5 μgL-1). Bromoform after disinfection by ozone was as high as 148 μgL-1, but was below the detection limit (<5.9 μgL-1) after UV-TiO2.
