Abstract

A process of catalytic ozonization with molecular ozone or with a gas containing ozone, for the purification of polluted waters, comprising the step of activating the ozone with a catalyst consisting at least of cobalt atoms, in order to achieve the advanced oxidation of the organic pollutants contained in the waters by converting the Total Organic Carbon of the waters into carbon dioxide.
