The results achieved by ozonation at the Stander Water Reclamation Plant, Pretoria, are discussed. A packed column together with an injector mixing device gave ozone· utilization levels higher than 95 % at dosages of about 10 mg/ dm3. Redistribution plates in the packing proved necessary to prevent poor adsorption due to backmixing in the gas phase. Disinfection is satisfactory if total oxidant residuals can be maintained at more than 0,2 mg/dm3 for 15 min. The results indicated that ozonation also lowered the chemical oxygen demand and total organic carbon concentration in the water. In spite of the fact that it …

The contribution of the associated steps to the properties of grain-boundary dislocations are investigated. Two methods of step-height determination are given and it is shown that the step height, like the Burgers vector, must be conserved during the reactions of grain-boundary dislocations: this is not always automatic and additional coherent steps must take part in some reactions. The energies associated with steps have been estimated and compared with the elastic energies of grain-boundary dislocations; these comparisons suggest that (a) the reduction of elastic energy alone may not be a sufficient criterion for the progress of a reaction and (b) that …
