ABSTRACT
This study conducted in monitoring respirometer oxygen consumption of aerobic microorganism during biodegradation processes of ozonated organic matters, which can estimate both biodegraded efficiency and coefficient of natural organic matters (NOMs) in water source. It can be proposed that different ozone dosage might change biodegradation characteristics of organic matters. The result reveals that higher ozone dosage may cause higher biomass yield coefficient of microorganism, and cultured microorganism may easily utilize biodegradation organic matters (BOMs) produced by ozonation, finally increasing overall removal efficiency. Therefore, using respirometer to evaluate the production of BOMs by ozonation before the biological treatment is effective for controling ozone dosage and enhancement of NOMs removal by biological processes.
