The biocidal action of ozone on pure and mixed bacterial biofilms were assessed in laboratory experiments. The effect of ozone on the corrosion behavior of SAE 1020 carbon steel and on AISI type 304L stainless steel samples, as well as the possible synergistic effect of ozone/bromide mixtures, were also studied. Ozone was effective not only to kill bacteria but also to facilitate the detachment of bacterial biofilms formed on stainless steel. Preliminary experiments showed that ozone/bromide ion mixtures did not modify either the biocidal action or the corrosion behavior of the metals with respect to that obtained with ozone alone.
