Abstract
A method for producing an ozone gas and an apparatus for producing the same are disclosed, in which a gas to be ozonized is fed to an ozonizer having a dielectric interposed between a pair of electrodes which are respectively connected to a high-frequency high-voltage power supply and thereby an ozone gas can be produced efficiently. The density of the gas to be ozonized which is fed to a silent discharge generating region in the ozonizer is made higher than the density of the same gas in the standard state. To that end, the temperature at the silent discharge generating region is lowered, and/or the pressure at the same region is increased.
Claims18
A method for producing an ozone gas, characterized in that ozonization is effected within an electric field device comprising a cylindrical dielectric body formed from an alumina ceramic, said cylindrical dielectric body being provided with a cylindrical induction electrode disposed therein and a plurality of linear discharge electrodes disposed in a parallel array on the inner surface of said cylindrical dielectric body to generate a surface corona discharge region along the inner surface of the cylindrical dielectric body, while a density of a gas to be ozonized in said surface corona discharge region of said cylindrical dielectric body is kept higher than the density of said gas to be ozonized in the standard state.
An ozonizer comprising an electric field device in which a cylindrical dielectric body formed from an alumina ceramic is provided, said cylindrical dielectric body being provided with a cylindrical induction electrode disposed therein and a plurality of linear discharge electrodes disposed in a parallel array on the inner surface of said cylindrical dielectric body to generate a surface corona discharge region along the inner surface of the cylindrical dielectric body, and density increasing means for increasing a density of a gas to be ozonized in said surface corona discharge generating region of said electric field device to a higher density than that in the standard state.
