WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, 2021 Ships use ballast water to ensure their buoyancy and stability. A significant amount of them is transported in various water basins of the World Ocean. Thus, together with ballast water, many microorganisms, phytoplankton and zooplankton are transported.

Ballast water treatment by ozone nanobubbles
Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, 2023 AbstractBACKGROUNDThe uncontrolled discharge of untreated ballast water, which is essential for a ship's optimal operation, is one of the major causes of sea environmental pollution by shipping. Among the disinfection methods available for ballast water treatment, ozonation is a commonly used method, but its performance is limited by the rapid ozone ...
