1,4-Dioxane Destruction

Advanced Oxidation Technology

1,4-Dioxane Destruction

Ballestra integrates an effective 1,4-dioxane destruction system using the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). This process ensures the safe and thorough elimination of organic contaminants, including 1,4-dioxane, in waste streams.

Technology Overview:

The Ballestra system utilizes a combination of ozone (O₃) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which are highly reactive oxidizers. The process can be summarized as follows:

  • H₂O₂ + H₂O → HO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺
  • O₃ + HO₂⁻ → •OH + O₂⁻ + O₂

The generated hydroxyl radicals break the cyclic molecular structure of 1,4-dioxane, oxidizing it into harmless byproducts such as carbon dioxide and water.
