Ozone (O3) is another chemical used in water treatment, primarily for its strong oxidizing properties. Ozone can effectively remove organic matter, taste, odor, and color from water and is a powerful disinfectant that eliminates bacteria and viruses without producing harmful by-products. The use of ozone in water treatment requires specialized equipment due to its unstable nature, as it must be generated on-site. Additionally, while ozone disinfection offers undeniable benefits, it cannot provide residual protection like chlorine or chloramine. Therefore, many facilities use ozone in conjunction with other treatments to ensure comprehensive water safety.
Static electricity occurs when there is an imbalance of electrical charges on the surface of materials. In plastics, this can happen due to their poor conductivity, which prevents the dissipation of electric charge. As a result, static charges can build up, leading to problems such as the attraction of dust and dirt, which can compromise the aesthetic and functional qualities of plastic products. In electronic applications, static discharge can damage sensitive components and disrupt operational efficiency.
