The rise in population and industrialization accounts for the generation of a huge amount of wastewaters. The treatment of this wastewater is obligatory to safeguard the environment and various life forms. Conventional methods for high strength wastewater treatment coming out to be ineffective. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for such wastewater treatment proved to be very effective particularly for the removal of various refractory compounds present in the wastewater. Ozone based AOPs with its high oxidizing power and excellent disinfectant properties is considered to be an attractive choice for the elimination of a large spectrum of refractory compounds. Furthermore, it enhances the biodegradability of wastewaters after treatment which favors subsequent biological treatments. In this review, a detailed overview of the AOPs (like the Fenton process, photocatalysis, Electrochemical oxidation, wet air oxidation, and Supercritical water oxidation process) has been discussed explicitly focusing on ozone-based AOPs (like O₃, O₃/H₂O₂, O₃/UV, Ozone/Activated carbon process, Ozone/Ultrasound process, O₃/UV/H₂O₂ process). This review also comprises the involved mechanisms and applications of various ozone-based AOPs for effective municipal/industrial wastewaters and landfill leachate treatment. Process limitations and rough economical analysis were also introduced. The conclusive remarks with future research directions also underlined. It was found that ozonation in combination with other effective AOPs and biological methods enhances treatment efficacies. This review will serve as a reference document for the researchers working in the AOPs field particularly focusing on ozone-based AOPs for wastewater treatment and management systems.

It is the paper that this study develops the small plate-type ozonizer(PTO) for improvements of indoor air and water, and investigated the characteristics. Electric discharge area of ozonizer of each form is same to 60[$cm^2$] and discharge power is the maximum 30[W]. Ozonizer of various forms was devised according to size, numbers and arrangement. The main study object is discharge power-ozone concentration characteristics, discharge power-ozone yield characteristics, amount of gas flow-ozone concentration characteristics and amount of gas flow-ozone yield characteristics. PTOL-P appeared so as to be most excellent, and ozone generation characteristics were able to get the similar results at three kinds of remaining ozonizer ($PTO_{P-P}$, $PTO_{C-P}$, $PTO_{T-P}$).

In this paper, discharge lamp ozonizer(DLO) of a new discharge type using superposition of gaseous electrical discharge for environment improvement was designed and manufactured. DLO is equipped with 3 electrodes(central ground electrode of discharge lamp type internal high voltage electrode of mesh type and external high voltage electrode of spiral type), and it is composed of double gap(gap between discharge lamp and internal electrode, gap between discharge lamp and external electrode). Internal and external electrodes are respectively applied AC high voltage which has 180[$^{\circ}$] phase difference. Ozone is generated by overlaying of each silent discharge which is respectively came from two gaps. At the moment discharge characteristics and ozone generation characteristics of DLO were investigated in accordance with quantity of supplied gas, discharge power and the number of DLO. When ozone generated by DLO was in contact with NO gas, removal characteristics was excellent, so it confirmed that DLO could be used as air environment improvement facility.

The power semiconductor switching devices(PSSD) continuously developed, Power Electronic Technology using PSSD is gradually extended. The high frequency inverter to generate the large power high frequency subject to power electronic technology pursuit various application. Also, in emboss with environmental destruction problem cause the atmosphere and the water pollution to growth of the commercial society, the research in favor of cleansing environmental a pollutant actively proceed. This paper describe study on the ozone generation power supply using the high frequency electric field method and the lamp type ozone generator using photochemistry, one of method of gene-rate ozone.

This study analyzes the characteristics of ozone weekend effect(OWE) in Busan. $O_3$ concentration on Sunday was over 10% higher than that on weekdays in all areas except for Kwangbokdong, Taejongdae, and Joadong. Such a difference was higher in the industrial area than in the residential area. $O_3$ generation was facilitated by the decrease in $NO_X$ emission on Sunday in VOC-limited regime where the VOC/$NO_X$ ratio is low. Low NO concentration in the Sunday morning decreased inhibition of $O_3$. NO-$O_3$ crossover time on Sunday was shorter than that on weekdays which in turn extended the accumulated duration of $O_3$. Future studies can include whether the entire Busan is VOCS-limited or the coastal area is VOCS-limited while the inland area is $NO_X$-limited.

A micro-size nonthermal plasma generator, using a $SiO_2$ film as a dielectric barrier, has been studied experimentally for a high frequency ac voltage in 2LPM oxygen gas fed. The $SiO_2$ film as a micro-size dielectric barrier was made by the wet oxidation of n-type Si wafer($220[{\mu}mt]$). It can be generated ozone, as a nonthermal plasma intensity parameter, at very low level of applied voltage about 1[kV] by using the micro-size dielectric barrier. As a result, in case that have no air gap spacing i.e. surface discharge case shows relatively higher ozone concentration rather than that case of the micro-airgap spacing.

A silent discharge type ozone generator using a water surface as an electrode has been proposed and investigated experimentally. A water surface has many Taylor cones when the ac voltage is applied on its surface, which increase the discharge surface greatly. In this paper, it was studied about the effect of the water conductivity. As increasing the water conductivity, the amount of generated ozone was increased and the silent discharge on the water surface took place steadily and calmly.

This paper describes ozone concenteration(O3con) and ozone generation(O3g) of lamp type ozo-nizer(O-Lamp)which be performed a role of lighting source and ozonizer. O=Lamp is consist of two low pressure mercury lamps. The important conclus-ions obtained from this paper are as follows, The more quality of supplied gas(Q) decrease, the higher O3con rise, The more quality of supplied gas(Q) increase, the higher O3g some rise. The Escherichia coli is reacted on ozone can be sterilized above 99[%]. Also, O-Lamp can confirmed possibility of appli-cation as lighting-source.

Surface corona discharge characteristics of a ac corona charged ferroelectric pellet barrier have been investigated experimentally. Electric charged stored on the surfaces of the ferroelectric pellets by a at corona discharge provide partial electric fields on the surfaces of the ferroelectric pellets, which could generate surface corona discharges on the ferroelectric pellets. This system utilizes both the surface discharges on the ferroelectric pellet barrier and the corona discharge between wire electrodes. As a result, in the case of the corona discharge with the ferroelectric pellet barrier, the mean corona current and ozone generation increase greatly, and the surface discharges on the ferroelectric pellets can be generated efficiently. It is also found that, the ferroelectric pellet barrier discharge reactor had better discharge characteristics for plasma generation than the wire-to-wire discharge reactor without pellets.
