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.
Claims14
An electrochemical method of generating and delivering ozonated water, comprising:
- a. electrolyzing water in one or more electrolytic cells each of said cells having an anode and a cathode to generate a combination of oxygen and ozone in water at the anode and hydrogen in water at the cathode;
- b. communicating anode water containing dissolved oxygen and ozone gases from the anode surface directly into an anode reservoir;
- and
- c. withdrawing ozonated water from the anode reservoir.
