Abstract
The present invention provides an ozone generation and delivery system that lends itself to small scale applications and requires very low maintenance. The system includes an anode reservoir and a cathode phase separator each having a hydrophobic membrane to allow phase separation of produced gases from water. The system may be configured to operate passively with no moving parts or in a self-pressurizing manner with the inclusion of a pressure controlling device or valve in the gas outlet of the anode reservoir. The hydrogen gas, ozone gas and water containing ozone may be delivered under pressure.
Claims29
A waste gas destruction unit for an electrochemical system producing ozone and hydrogen gases, comprising:
- a first region comprising a hydrogen inlet, an oxygen source inlet and a tortuous packing;
- a second region downstream of the first region, the second region comprising a hydrogen destruction catalyst,
- a third region downstream of the second region, the third region comprising an ozone inlet and a tortuous packing;
- and
- a fourth region downstream of the third region, the fourth region comprising an ozone destruction catalyst and a vent.
