Experimental Investigations On Production Of Excited Ozone Species From A Silent Discharge Ozone Generator

Abstract

Ozone decomposition kinetics are investigated together with the influence of energy input to an ozone generator. Decomposition is considered in a solid bed reactor, a gas phase reactor and a bubbling reactor. Ozone is produced at the same concentration and gas flow rate using two methods: 1) from the generator at a higher power giving higher ozone concentration, then ozone is diluted by oxygen before entering the decomposition reactor, and 2) at a lower power without dilution.A clear effect of the energy power density on the ozone generation is shown.
