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 ...
