Empirical bromate formation models were developed from batch ozonation
data to simulate the effects of important water quality characteristi
cs and treatment processes on bromate formation. Bromate formation was
favored at high pH, bromide concentration, alkalinity, and ozone dose
. On the other hand, increasing DOC and ammonia concentration decrease
d bromate formation. Validation of the bromate models demonstrated tha
t the models accurately simulated bromate formation. Risk analysis of
bromate formation was performed on 5 utilities in which ozone was used
, and it was concluded that under typical ozonation conditions, the as
sociated risk related to bromate formation could be as high as 10(-3).
