Removal of Pollutant Compounds From Water Supplies Using Ozone, Ultraviolet Light, and a Counter Current Packed Column

Abstract

Many water pollutants are determined to be carcinogenic and often appear in very low concentrations and still pose a health risk. Conventional water treatment processes cannot remove these contaminants and there is a great demand for the development of alternative removal technologies. The use of ozone and ultraviolet light in a counter current packed column could prove to be an effective treatment process to remove these contaminants.
