Using Ozone-Generated Bubbles to Remove Oil Sheen and Contaminants from Water

Green Car Congress

A University of Utah engineer has developed an inexpensive new method to remove oil sheen by repeatedly pressurizing and depressurizing ozone gas, creating microscopic bubbles that attack the oil so it can be removed by sand filters. Water from mining of oil sands and oil shale.

60% of ground-level ozone (O 3 ) precursors, 6% of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), and 22% of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted. GREET models five groups of air pollutant emissions: NO x ; non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOCs); primary particulate matter less than 2.5 Associated tailpipe emissions alone account for 40?60%
