ozonisation
Creating activated oxygen
Ozonisation is the treatment of a substance with ozone, typically to purify or disinfect.
Water treatment plants use ozonisation to kill bacteria and remove contaminants.
The process also appears in industrial chemistry to oxidize organic compounds.
British spelling; Americans write ozonization.
The pool uses ozonisation instead of chlorine.
