One is the mechanism of action of ozone: ozone can decompose large molecular groups, turning some previously undetectable substances into visible ones.

The main reasons for the increase in COD after ozone treatment include:

One is the mechanism of action of ozone: ozone can decompose large molecular groups, turning some previously undetectable substances into visible ones. Therefore, in the early stages, ozone is more of a ring breaking and chain breaking effect, which can temporarily increase COD values.

The second is the oxidation of recalcitrant substances: Ozone treatment can partially oxidize some recalcitrant organic matter, allowing it to be better oxidized by potassium dichromate, resulting in an increase in COD value.
