Which of the following gas or gases are used to disinfect water in sewage treatment facilities?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Both ozone and chlorine are used. Chlorine (as gas or hypochlorite) is the cheapest and most common disinfectant, applied in a contact tank before the treated water is discharged; ozone, generated on site, is a stronger oxidant that destroys bacteria and viruses quickly and leaves no chlorinated by-products. Nitrogen is an inert gas with no disinfecting action, so any choice containing it is wrong, and naming chlorine alone leaves out ozone.
