Bromate Removal from Water
Understanding the Contaminant
Bromate is a byproduct formed when bromide in water reacts with ozone during the disinfection process. It is a potential carcinogen, and prolonged exposure to bromate-contaminated water can lead to serious health issues, including an increased risk of cancer. Sources include treated drinking water, especially where ozone is used as a disinfectant.
Solutions for Removal
- Activated Carbon Filtration: Reduces bromate levels through adsorption.
- Reverse Osmosis: Removes bromate and other contaminants by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane.
- Ion Exchange: Replaces bromate ions with safer alternatives to ensure clean water.
Applications
Bromate removal is essential in municipal water systems, industrial processes, and any setting where water quality must meet strict safety standards.
Benefits of Removal
- Protects public health by reducing cancer risk
- Ensures compliance with regulatory standards
- Improves water quality and safety
