Ozone gas is a reactive antioxidant. Its role in blood circulation and uplifting immunity is an ideal complement to achieving curative care treatments. Aside from treatments, the therapeutic and biological effects of ozone may have positive results by reducing tooth demineralization, its antimicrobial capabilities rely upon its ability to oxidize, which produces free radicals, and has immediate action on microbes. The usage of ozone in dentistry is recommended for a variety of purposes, which comprises carious lesion treatments, root canal disinfection, post-surgical treatment, tooth bleaching, periodontal problems, prosthodontics, and orthodontics. Ozone has the potential to be a promising alternative therapy in dentistry. However, well-designed research is needed to analyze ozone’s utilization in the field of dentistry to determine its importance from a clinical perspective so that the general public can benefit from it. This systematic review aims to describe the technique in which ozone can be advantageous as well as the many ways of applications of ozone therapy in dentistry.","PeriodicalId":19580,"journal":{"name":"Ozone: Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85170845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both plants employ an ozonation process for the reduction of musty odor compounds, 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin, and trihalomethanes. In this study, we aim to estimate hydroxyl radical (HO∙) exposure in a three-stage countercurrent ozone contactor applied at the Inagawa drinking water treatment plant. We estimated the HO∙ exposure as the product of the ozone exposure multiplied by the RCt value, that is, the ratio of the HO∙ exposure to the ozone exposure. The ozone exposure was estimated by a methodology we developed earlier, and the RCt values were experimentally evaluated in this study. The estimated HO∙ exposure ranged from 0.4 × 10−10 to 6.7 × 10−10 M·s across the contactor during our research period. The highest HO∙ exposure of 6.7 × 10−10 M·s indicated that the reduction ratio of musty odor compounds exceeded 95%. At these exposures, the detected concentration of bromate was 6 µg/L, which is equal to the 60% concentration level of Japan’s water quality standard for drinking water. Further, we attempt to balance the reduction in musty odor compounds with control of bromate formation.","PeriodicalId":19580,"journal":{"name":"Ozone: Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83235504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Loeb","doi":"10.1080/01919512.2022.2110734","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01919512.2022.2110734","url":null,"abstract":"There are those who state that ozone is now a mature technology. This impression is most likely based on the well-established use of ozone for drinking water purification. Ozone is very effective in improving taste and odor, helping to eliminate the formation of trihalomethanes, provide disinfection and help filtration performance. Ozone has been used for disinfection of drinking water for large municipalities for more than 50 years. This is definitely mature technology. However, even with drinking water treatment, there have been new developments with ozone, particularly when considering ozone mass transfer. Historically water treatment plants used porous plate diffusers and many still do today. In the interest of saving space and reducing capital, operational and maintenance costs, sidestream venturi injectors (SVIs) have been developed to introduce ozone into water. Over the past several years this process has been optimized using computational fluid dynamics to help in determine the optimum injection nozzle locations for a particular process. Today, a large percentage of new drinking waters are using SVIs. Another significant advance has been the use of static mixers to improve the ozone dissolution. Many remember the old air-fed ozone generators equipped with elaborate air-drying systems. These were the original workhorse generators of the ozone industry. Engineers and scientists have since developed new power conversion technologies and dielectrics tailored to oxygen feed gas resulting in considerable improvement in efficiency and reduction of space. We continue to see incremental improvement in ozone generator performance and the use of very reliable efficient power conversion equipment. Scientists are now demonstrating how a Xenon Excimer can be used to produce very high concentration ozone at an economical power consumption. In the early days of ozone, scientists discovered advanced oxidation where ozone combined with hydrogen peroxide formed free radicals which could quickly oxidize difficult contaminants. This led to the concept of catalytic ozonation where ozone combined with a solid catalyst could provide a similar benefit. This new technology is being heavily researched and may soon lead to commercial processes. Ozone was considered and used for wastewater treatment in the 1980s but fell out of favor due to operating costs and possibly misapplication. Today, there is emphasis on water reuse – reclaiming wastewater for use as potable water. Ozone combined with biological filtration has been found to be an newly effective process to accomplish this, particularly in areas where concentrate from reverse osmosis/ultrafiltration plants cannot be effectively disposed. IN 1997 the FDA approved ozone as GRAS for foods. In 2001 ozone was approved as an antimicrobial additive for direct contact with foods. Research on how to apply this newly approved technology began in earnest and continues today and ozone is tested on new food products for i","PeriodicalId":19580,"journal":{"name":"Ozone: Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80150660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the fixed-bed column studies, breakthrough curves were obtained under different operating conditions to examine the effects of feed flow rate, inlet bromate concentration, and bed height on column performance. A modified n-order Bohart and Adams model (n-BAM-c), which considered the asymmetry of the breakthrough curve and flow channeling, was applied for the first time to describe the experimental data obtained from the column and to predict the breakthrough curves. It was found that n-BAM-c fitted the experimental data well (R2 > 0.99) and the effects of the key operating conditions on the model parameters were determined. Overall, the results show that SBA exchange is suitable for bromate removal from water and n-BAM-c could be a powerful tool for the design and upscaling of bromate ion exchange columns.","PeriodicalId":19580,"journal":{"name":"Ozone: Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86595717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 400 caries-free human molar teeth were randomly divided into enamel and dentin groups, and each was divided into five subgroups. The O20 group received 20-s ozone, O20 + R received 20-s ozone+reductant solution, O80 received 80-s ozone, O80 + R received 80-s ozone+reductant solution, and C was the control group. Each subgroup was then divided into four more subgroups based on restorative material (i.e., nanohybrid resin composite, silorane-based microhybrid resin composite, compomer, or conventional capsulated glass ionomer cement). After water storage for seven days, shear bond-strength data (MPa) were measured using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until fracture, and failure types were examined. The effects of ozone and ozone+reductant applications on enamel and dentin were examined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bond strength data were statistically evaluated using a three-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s honestly significant difference test (a = 0.05). The bond strength of the control group was like that of the O20 group (p > 0.05), but it was higher than all other groups regardless of the type of restorative material or tooth structure (p < 0.05). Adhesive-type failures were found in most groups. Via SEM examinations, it was observed that ozone applications did not change the enamel morphology, but they did cause narrowing of the dentinal tubule openings in O80 + R.","PeriodicalId":19580,"journal":{"name":"Ozone: Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78807731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study focuses on using heterogeneous nano-metallic oxide embedded activated carbon (AC) for degrading Bisphenol-A (BPA) present in the water. The catalytic ozonation process was carried out using AC/Cu2O/ZnO as the catalyst. The bimetallic catalyst was characterized using BET, XRD, FESEM, Raman Spectra, and DLS. Total organic carbon (TOC) removal was 19% higher for catalytic ozonation when compared with non-catalytic ozonation. HPLC studies found that BPA was removed by 98%.

High relative humidity helps reduce the contact time required for viruses and bacteria inactivation with ozone. Thus, this work aimed to analyze the dispersion of an ozonized mist by CFD simulation to sanitize a hospital operating room. To our best knowledge, for the first time, the dispersion of an ozonized mist was investigated by CFD. The mathematical and numerical models were validated with results from the literature. The decay kinetics of the ozonized mist was obtained experimentally, resulting in a first order reaction with a kinetic constant of 2.66 × 10−4 s−1. The numerical results of concentration on the surfaces were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, providing relevant information about the fluid dynamics of the sanitizing process. Ozone mist concentrations were higher on the walls close to the generator and lower on the furthest walls and the ceiling. The ozone mist concentration in the room reached an average of 11 mg/L. Five minutes of ozone mist generation and another five minutes of decay by air circulation were sufficient to provide an increase in ozone mist to concentrations above 4 mg/L, considered satisfactory for the sanitization of the operating room surfaces.","PeriodicalId":19580,"journal":{"name":"Ozone: Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83129952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aimed to study the light emission caused by the oxidation of luminol by ozonized sesame oil. Sesame oil was ozonized at different time intervals and characterized by peroxide index, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. The light emission efficiency was correlated with the pH of the medium, the concentration of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), used as a catalyst, and solvents. A linear correlation was obtained between the concentration of ozonized oil and the integrated light emission. In a second approach, taurine chloramine (Tau-NHCl) was used instead of HRP. The light emission was dependent on both ozonized oil and Tau-NHCl, showing the involvement of intermediate oxidative species in the reaction.
