A method of water treatment include mixing a hydrogen peroxide solution into a flow of water and subsequently mixing and dissolving ozone into the flow of water. The hydrogen peroxide solution may be conditioned with a water-soluble hydroxide salt. After the mixing and dissolving of the ozone into the flow of water, at least a portion of the hydrogen peroxide solution dissociates into hydroperoxide ions at a dissociation rate, the hydroperoxide ions react with the ozone to form hydroxyl radicals, and the hydroxyl radicals react with organic contaminants in the flow of water to remove the organic contaminants. The flow of water is then directed into a contact basin to facilitate the further decay of ozone. |
