Easy determination of ozone in water
使用臭氧（O3）进行水处理是游泳池消毒的常见程序。重要的是，要产生足够但不过量的臭氧对水进行消毒。臭氧还可用于饮用水和废水处理，因为它在灭活或杀死病毒和细菌方面比氯有效得多。本应用说明介绍了一种根据 DIN 38408-3 标准通过电位滴定法测定水中臭氧浓度的方法。
Water treatment with ozone (O3 ) is a common procedure for the disinfection of swimming pools. To efficiently kill microbes, ozone concentrations from 0.1–7 mg min/L are needed. During this process, it is important that a sufficient but not excessive amount of O3 is produced to disinfect the water. Otherwise, the remaining ozone which is not used to disinfect the water could enter the swimming water. This concentration should not exceed 0.04 mg/L. If the concentration is higher, the ozone could irritate the respiratory system or the skin of bathers.
Therefore, it is recommended to monitor the produced ozone concentration. In addition, the disinfection process with ozone is used in drinking and waste water treatment. This is due to the fact that ozone is significantly more effective than chlorine at inactivating or killing viruses and bacteria. Ozone is widely used in Europe to treat drinking water.
This application note describes a method to determine the ozone concentration in water by potentiometric titration according to DIN 38408-3.
Due to the reactive nature of ozone, this application is demonstrated on spiked groundwater. Immediately after spiking the sample with ozone (produced by electrolysis), potassium iodide solution is added to the sample to stabilize the ozone.
This analysis is performed on an OMNIS Advanced Titrator equipped with a double Pt sheet electrode.
Sulfuric acid is added to a prepared sample solution, and the iodine, generated by the reaction of ozone with potassium iodide, is back titrated with sodium thiosulfate until after the equivalence point.
It is important to determine the ozone content immediately after the sample is prepared, because the ozone is not stable.
A mean ozone content of 13.44 mg/L (n = 3, SD(abs) = 0.83 mg/L, SD(rel) = 6.18%) is obtained for the spiked groundwater sample. If ozone is not generated in-situ but continuously, it should be possible to obtain a lower standard deviation.
With the used setup and titration parameters, one sample could be measured in under 2.5 minutes with sharp curves and clear equivalence points.
Titration is an inexpensive method to determine ozone in water. With this method, it is possible to determine ozone contents as low as 0.1 mg/L.
Using an OMNIS Titrator allows you to customize the system according to your application needs and to expand it for other titration applications required for the quality control of water.
