INTRODUCTION
Water reclamation and reuse can be significant
steps forward toward global sustainability. Con-
ventional wastewater treatment processes are not
usually able to provide water with high standard
quality, therefore, more effective treatments such
as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including
ozonation, are required for this purpose. Ozonation
is commonly applied in wastewater reclamation
facilities globally as an effective tertiary treatment
procedure (Tang et al., 2014). At the present time,
ozonation has been used for municipal wastewater
quality enhancement for potable water reuse and
environmental protection (Lim et al., 2022).
Firstly, what is ozone, and how has it found its
way to wastewater treatment plants? The Dutch
chemist, Van Muram, noticed an unusual odor
during his laboratory experiments with his elec-
trostatic machine in 1785. Later in 1839, it was
discovered and made in a laboratory by German
scientist Christian Friedrich Schönbein (McElroy
& Fogal, 2008), and it was named ozone from
the Greek word (ozein), which means to smell.
Thomas Andrews showed in 1856 that only ox-
ygen was involved in ozone formation, while a
decade later (in 1865) Jacques-Louis Soret dis-
covered the chemical formula of ozone.
German physician, Lender, published the first
study regarding the practicality of ozone applica-
tion for water disinfection and its biological ef-
fects in 1870, while for the very first time, it was
Holland, where a water disinfection plant was
built in 1893, which used ozone. Later in 1965,
Ireland and the United Kingdom (including Scot-
land) reported using ozone for color removal of
