Keywords: The beneficial effect of combining ozone with ceramic membrane filtration (CMF) to enhance membrane flux
Ceramic membrane performances during water treatment (e.g., wastewater and drinking water) could be related to the formation of
Ozone hydroxyl (HO�) radicals from the interaction of ozone with ceramic membrane. To explore this effect, para-
pCBA

Hydroxyl radical
Bromate formation
0.1 μm pore size membrane supplied by Metawater, Japan. Tests were then extended to explore the impact on
bromate formation downstream CMF, a well-known undesirable by-product from ozone use in water treatment.
Ozone reduction by the membrane and its module appeared to be more associated with physical degassing, but a
noticeable formation of HO� radicals was observed during the interaction of ozone with the ceramic membrane.
CMF treatment of ozonated potable water containing bromide showed a reduced bromate formation of 50%
when the water was recirculated to the filtration module containing the ceramic membrane, compared to the
experiment performed with an empty module. Single pass experiments showed bromate mitigation of around
10%. The mitigation of bromate formation was attributed to reduced overall ozone exposure by deagassing ef
fect, but also potentially from suppression of the oxidation of Br and HOBr/BrO to BrO3 due to the catalytic
degradation of ozone via a HO� radical pathway.

obtain different flow rates of air. It was observed that the half-life
decreased exponentially as the air flow was increased by increasing
fan speed. Moreover, the experiments herein were conducted in such a
way that the membrane permeate was recirculated back to the feed
beaker and depressurised prior to feeding back to the membrane.
Therefore, to avoid agitation and to isolate the effect of the mem
brane/module on the decomposition of ozone, single pass experiments
were conducted with tap water. This reduced the contact of the ozonized
sample with air and ensured adequate reaction time with the membrane
without active flow (agitation or pressure).
Table 3 shows an example of ozone decomposition for a holding time
inside the module with and without membrane of 1 min with an addi
tional 40 s (1.6 min). This 40 s was determined by calibrating against the
breakthrough of the contents contained within the membrane as
described in Section 3.3. The results show that running the feed solution
through the empty module led to a lower concentration of ozone
compared to the expected decay in the beaker. Although, this drop in
ozone concentration was similar to when the membrane was installed,
indicating small differences in the effect on ozone decay between the
empty module and the membrane (Table 3). Meanwhile, the decrease in
ozone concentration with pCBA while being held with the membrane
was larger compared to the decrease in ozone with tert-butanol
(Table 3). This gives further evidence that catalytic decomposition of Fig. 3. Impact on ozone decomposition induced by the ceramic membrane for
