ozonization

Air purification process

Ozonization is the process of treating something with ozone, typically to purify or disinfect.

Water treatment plants use ozonization to kill bacteria and remove contaminants: The city switched from chlorination to ozonization for its drinking water.

The process also appears in industrial applications for bleaching and oxidizing organic compounds.
