Ozone reactor for liquids

Abstract

An ozone reactor having two elongated chambers mounted coaxially. The outer hamber having closures at each end and the inner chamber being smaller in cross section and being mounted in spaced relation to the outer chamber as well as being spaced from the end closures of the outer chamber. The outer chamber has inlet and outlet ports for admitting and exhausting the liquid. Mounted near the bottom end of the inner chamber is a sparger for introducing bubbles containing ozone which rise to the top of the liquid causing a circulation flow between the two chambers and up through the inner chamber. There may also be a stirrer mounted to extend into the inner chamber to cause a breakup of the ozone containing bubbles thereby speeding the dissolving of the ozone into the liquid. Also there may be included a spray mounted to control the foaming of the liquid.
