The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical quenching system for residual ozone and to determine the operating
condition for the quenching system. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) were investigated as
quenching reagents for ozone removal, and the tendency of each chemical was notably different. In the case of H2O2,
the degradation rate of ozone was increased as the concentration of H2O2 increase, and temperature and pH value have a significant effect on the degradation rate of ozone. On the other hand, the degradation rate of ozone was not affected by the concentration of Na2S2O3, temperature and pH value, due to the high reactivity between the S2O32- and ozone. This study evaluates the decomposition mechanism of ozone by H2O2 and Na2S2O3 with consideration for
the water quality and reaction time. Furthermore, the removal test for the quenching reagents, which can be remained after reaction with ozone, was conducted by GAC process
