ABSTRACT
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are advanced processes of wastewater treatment used for oxidizing complex organic constituents present in wastewater that are dif‹cult to degrade biologically into simpler end products (Metcalf & Eddy 2003). The ozonation process is an AOP that can be utilized to degrade complex organic compounds and can also be used as a disinfection process. Ozone is also used in wastewater treatment for odor control purposes (Metcalf & Eddy 2003). The ozonation process can be conducted in different chambers among which bubble columns have gained much popularity in the last decade (Gamal El-Din and Smith 2001a).
