Abstract
The first issue of Ozone: Science & Engineering (OS&E) was published in early 1979 with Dr. L. J. Bollyky as the Editor-in-Chief. This was a milestone for the International Ozone Association enabling professional recognition of the advances in ozone technology.
Since this first issue, 23 volumes of OS&E have been published containing 114 individual issues, 675 technical articles and nearly 11,000 pages. Dr. Rip Rice became Editor-in-Chief in 1985 and continued this position until 1998. Under the leadership of these gentlemen, OS&E expanded from about 70 pages per issue four times per year to 100 pages, then to six issues per year, at about 100 pages. In 2001 the dimensions of the journal were increased to accommodate even more manuscripts.
Early articles in OS&E focused heavily on aquaculture applications, municipal wastewater treatment and industrial applications. In 1980 the application of ozone to trihalomethane control was summarized and a shift to papers on drinking water treatment occurred. Early papers also introduced the use of ozone for pulp bleaching, odor control, bottled water treatment, swimming pool treatment, cooling tower treatment, the use of UV, advanced oxidation, and ozone measurement. As the journal and ozone science matured, papers began to cover more in-depth studies on disinfection removal of specific pollutants and to focus on current environmental problems such as inactivation of Cryptosporidium.
In 1989, the Harvey M. Rosen Memorial Award was established to recognize the “best paper” published in OS&E during the two-year period between World Congresses. The Editorial Board of OS&E determines the selection of the award. To date, eight papers have received this prestigious award.
This paper reviews the first 23 years of Ozone: Science & Engineer and offers a glimpse into the future of the journal. The availability of a CD ROM set containing complete issues of OS&E is described.
