Ozone Effective for Removing Cyanide From Gold Mining Wastes
African Oxygen, part of The Linde Group, is using ozone for the cyanide destruction process at gold mines. Ozone is generated on site, by using ozone generators and using oxygen. The ozone was injected using a specially developed contacting system to ensure that optimal reaction efficiency took place before the water was pumped into the […]
Ozone and Advanced Oxidation Markets to Grow Strongly
Global Water Intelligence has recently published a study on the water treatment market. The report noted strong growth in ozonation and advanced oxidation water treatment applications. The growth drivers are the need for higher quality water while raw water quality is decreasing, the use of wastewater for applications previously supplied by potable water, and the […]
Ozone Measurement in Iron and Manganese Removal
Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are often found in groundwater. High levels can create aesthetic issues with drinking water including taste and odor problems as well as staining of water fixtures. A common method of removing these contaminants is to oxidize them and then remove the precipitates via filtration. Ozone is one of the oxidants […]
