Ozone-Biological Activated Carbon (O₃-BAC), a kind of enhanced treatment technology was applied to treat reclaimed water in case that water bloom occurred. In the study, a column experiment was carried out with COD_Cr and NH₃-N as analysis indicators. The concentration of COD_Cr and NH₃-N in the inlet is 15~30mg/L and 0.5~1.0mg/L respectively. After being treated by O₃-BAC, in the outlet, the concentration of COD_Cr and NH₃-N is lower than 15mg/L and 0.2mg/L respectively, which is better than class III of surface water standard. The study is a promising reference for reclaimed water reused for surface water supply.
