Academic Frontier: Breakthroughs in Ozone Water Treatment—From Lab Innovation to Industry Transformation

This article focuses on the latest academic breakthroughs in ozone water treatment technology, summarizing three key studies published in top journals between 2024 and 2025. These include: a manganese-based catalyst developed by MIT researchers that reduces ozone generation energy consumption by 50%, addressing the high-cost pain point of traditional technologies; an AI-powered dynamic control system co-developed by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a Swiss water tech firm, which uses machine learning to achieve precise ozone dosing and eliminates the risk of excessive byproducts; and a miniature ozone generator (MOG) developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which breaks through the size and efficiency limitations of industrial equipment, driving its popularization in household and small-scale scenarios. These breakthroughs not only enhance the economic viability and safety of ozone technology but also open up broad application prospects—from industrial to household, and from urban to rural settings—providing a new paradigm of "green innovation" for global water governance.
