Vibrio parahaemolyticus contamination causes serious foodborne illness and has become a global health problem. As a disinfectant, aqueous ozone can effectively kill a number of bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other microorganisms. In this study, three factors, namely, the aqueous ozone concentration, the exposure time, and the bacterial density, were analyzed by response surface methodology, and the aqueous ozone concentration was the most influential factor in the sterilization ratio. Under low aqueous ozone concentrations (less than 0.125 mg/l), the bacterial cell membranes remained intact, and the ozone was detoxified by intracellular antioxidant enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutase and catalase). Under high aqueous ozone concentrations (more than 1 mg/l), cell membranes were damaged by the degree of peripheral electronegativity at the cell surface and the concentration of lactate dehydrogenase released into the extracellular space, and the ultrastructures of the cells were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Aqueous ozone penetrated the cells through leaking membranes, inactivated the enzymes, inhibited almost all the genes, and degraded the genetic materials of gDNA and total RNA, which eventually led to cell death.

Shelf-life of soybean curd prepared with ozone-treated soybeans investigated on pH, acidity, sour taste, slime formation during storage at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Total Plate counts of raw soybeans showed about log 7.0 CFU/g before ozone treatment. The sterilization efficiency of raw soybeans showed the most effective in 0.5ppm of aqueous ozone treatment at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 90 minutes. Raw soybeans were treated with ozone by different methods; (1) Ozone treatment for 90 + 90 minutes (first 3.5~5 hours and later 8.5~10 hours) of 10 hours during soaking in aqueous solutions at 4$^{\circ}C$ (OW). (2) Ozone treatment by exposure first to 30ppm of gaseous ozone for 90 minutes and then allied to OW method (GO+OW). The log reduction of raw soybeans treated by OW and GO+OW methods showed 3.72 and 4.15, respectively. Soybean curd prepared with OW and GO+OW-treated soybeans kept the shelf-life of 4 and 5.5 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively, but, that without ozone treatment spoiled at me day.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of microorganism inactivation using 3 ppm of aqueous ozone (AO), 1% citric acid, 1% lactic acid, and 1% acetic acid alone, as well as the combinations of AO and organic acid, for washing the raw materials of saengsik (carrot, cabbage, glutinous rice, barley) with or without agitation. The combination of AO and 1% of each organic acid significantly inactivated spoilage bacteria in both the vegetables and the grains (p<0.05). However, in the glutinous rice, no inhibitory effects were shown for total aerobic bacteria by using water, ozone, or the combination of AO with citric acid or lactic acid, without agitation. Microbial inactivation was enhanced with agitation in the grains, whereas dipping (no agitation) treatments showed better inhibitory effects in the vegetables than in the barley, suggesting that washing processes should take into account the type of food material.

The degradation efficiencies of phenol in aqueous solution were studied by semi-continuous experiments in the processes of ozone alone, ozone/bulky $Co_3O_4$ and ozone/$Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles. Catalyst samples (bulky $Co_3O_4$ and $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles) were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, $pH_{pzc}$ and the density of surface hydroxyl groups of the two catalyst samples were also measured. The catalytic activity of $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles was investigated for the removal of phenol in aqueous solutions under different reaction temperatures. Tert-butyl alcohol had little effect on the catalytic ozonation processes. Based on these results, the possible catalytic ozonation mechanism of phenol by $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles was proposed as a reaction process between ozone molecules and pollutants.

This study was carried out to treat the aqueous solutions containing reactive dyes(RB19, RR120 and RY179) by the Ozone demand flask method and adsorption process using activated carbon fiber(ACF) which are one of the main pollutants in dye wastewater. Ozone oxidation of three kinds of the reactive dyes was examined to investigate the reactivity of dyes with ozone, competition reaction and ozone utilization on various conditions for single- and multi-solute dye solution. Concentration of dyes was decreased continuously with increasing ozone dosage in the single-solute dye solutions. Competition quotient values were calculated to investigate the preferential oxidation of individual dyes in multi-solute dye solutions. Competition quotients(CQi) and values of the overall utilization efficiency, ${\eta}O_3$, were increased at 40mg/l of ozone dosage in multi-solute dye solutions. ACF(A-15) has much larger specific surface area$(1,584m^2/g-ACF)$ in comparison with granular activated carbon adsorbent (F400, $1,125m^2/g-GAC$), which is commonly used, and most of pores were found to be micropores with pore radius of 2nm and below. It was found that RB19 was most easily adsorbed among the dyes in this study. In the case of PCP (p-chlorophenol) and sucrose, which are single component adsorbate, adsorption capacities of ACF(A-15) were in good agreement with the batch adsorption measurement, and saturation time predicted of ACF columns for these components was also well agreed with practically measured time. But in the case of reactive dyes, which have relatively high molecular weight and aggregated with multi-components, adsorption capacities or saturation time predicted were not agreed with practically measured values.

Deposition to the sea surface is one of ozone's principal loss mechanisms (Galbally and Roy, 1980; Levy et al., 1985; Kramm, 1995). However, since complicated physical and chemical processes are involved, large uncertainties remain in evaluating this loss mechanism that need to be better characterized. In this study we attempted to explore possible causes that give rise to large variability of ozone deposition velocity in terms of wind speed and chemical reactivity in the aqueous-phase film.

This work carried out the removal of aniline by wet oxidation in aqueous solutions like a industrial wastewater using Ozone, UV, and Ozone-UV . The main features of this experiment are as follows: the aniline was decomposed by OH and HO$_{2}$ radicals which produced from the reaction of water with UV and Ozone, when the Ozorie and Ozone-UV used the aniline was decomposed completely. The decomposition of aniline was very fast reaction and the reaction times were within 10min. and 20min. in case of for Ozone Ozone-UV respectively. Assumed simplified reaction mechanism from the aniline oxidation model, and the we are calculated the theoretical reaction rate constants by computer simulation, and then compared with experimental data. We suggest that this simulation program is applicable to estimate of the aniline decaying concentration and removal efficiency of aniline - contaminated wastewater.

본 연구는 오존의 강한 산화력을 이용하여 기상의 처리방법에 따른 비스코스 레이온의 탈색효과를 연구하였다. 오존이 발생할 때는 기체상태로 고농도이지만, 수용액 상태로 물에 녹이는 과정에서 기화요인에 의하여 오존의 손실이 많았다. 따라서 기존의 오존처리방법인 수용액상태의 처리방법이 아니라 기상의 오존을 직접 직물에 처리하므로 고농도의 오존을 단시간동안 처리하여 직물에 존재하는 색소를 산화시켜 탈색하는 방법을 사용하였다. 기상의 오존은 직접 유기색소와 반응하지 않기 때문에 물을 매개체로 하여 pick up ratio를 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%로 변화시키면서 비스코스 레이온의 탈색에 대하여 연구하였다. Pick up ratio가 40%일 때가 유기색소를 분해하는데 필요한 최적의 수산기가 발생하므로 처리포의 탈색효과가 가장 좋았다. 그러나 처리기간이 길수록 너무 과다하게 오존에 의해 산화되므로 강도와 신도의 저하를 초래하였다. 따라서 최적의 기상오존 처리시간은 60분정도에서 처리하는 것이 강도와 신도의 저하를 가장 적게 할 수 있고 백도도 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

수용액상의 비스페놀 A (BPA)를 HPLC 분석기기를 이용하여 검량하였으며, 이것을 Acetonitrile 분석법과 KDP solution 분석법으로 정립하였다. 본 실험에서는 오존 단독공정과 오존/pH 10 공정, 오존/과산화수소 공정을 이용하여 BPA의 분해특성을 비교 고찰하였다. 오존 단독공정을 사용하였을 때, 10 mg/L BPA는 60 min 동안 약 70% 제거되었으며, 오존/pH 10 공정 및 오존/과산화수소 공정은 각각 40 min과 60 min만에 BPA를 완전히 제거하였다. 그러나 60 min 동안의 반응에서 TOC 및 HPLC 분석결과를 바탕으로 도출한 최종 분해효율은 오존/과산화수소 공정이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 오존/pH 10 공정은 오존 단독공정에 비해 TOC 및 반응 부산물의 농도가 오히려 높은 것으로 나타났다. 수중의 유기탄소를 $CO_2$ 및 $H_2O$로 산화시키는 효율은 오존/과산화수소 공정이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

불포화 토양내에서 가스상 오존의 이동특성에 대한 토양수분과 Light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL)의 영향을 알아보기 토양칼럼실험을 실시하였다 토양수분은 토양입자에 수막을 형성하여 가스상 오존과 토양입자의 직접적인 접촉을 방해하여 오존의 이동을 증가시키는 역할을 하였다. 토양수분이 증가할수록 불포화 토양내의 기-액 접촉면적 감소와 오존의 평균선형유속증가로 인해 오존의 이동속도가 증가하였다. LNAPL로 사용된 디젤유의 경우도 토양 표면에 막(Film)을 형성하여 가스상 오존의 이동을 증가시키는 역할을 하였다. 하지만, 토양 수분과는 반대로 디젤유 농도가 증가할수록 오존의 이동속도는 감소하였다. 토양수분과 LNAPL성분이 동시에 존재할 경우에는 토양입자에 Non-wetting유체로 작용하는 LNAPL에 의해 오존의 이동이 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다
