Removal of glucose and starch from aqueous solution by ozone

Advanced oxidation processes of of glucose and starch from aqueous solution by using ozone has been studied. A nominal concentration of 100 mgl-1 of the glucose and starch was chosen, which normally occurs in food indusdtry wastewaters. The effect of oxidation concentration and pHon CODand TOChasbeen studied. It wasobserved that the highest removing rate of these factors achieved at alkaline and some neutral conditions, i.e., the indirect mechanism of hydroxyl radical attack on the molecule under study.
