Full Description

A combination of ozone and hydrogen peroxide (known as peroxone) was studied as a treatment alternative for removing methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), a common fuel oxygenate. The authors investigated the effects of oxidation of ozone and peroxone on MTBE in Santa Monica, California, groundwater. Experiments conducted in a large-scale, semibatch reactor demonstrated that peroxone (at a peroxone ratio of 1.0, with applied ozone doses of greater than or equal to 10 mg/L) was more consistently effective in oxidizing MTBE than was ozone alone. To achieve MTBE levels below the California secondary standard of 5 ug/L for drinking water, however, applied ozone doses of
