| Research Abstract |
The silent discharge is mainly used for ozone generation in an ozonizer. Most practical ozonizer has a coaxial cylindrical electrode system with a gap spacing of 1-2 mm and 1-2 m length. In this electrode geometry, ozone created by a silent discharge is destroyed by next discharge when gas passes the narrow and long discharge gap field. In this study, instead of conventional coaxial cylindrical electrode system, a rod-to-rod electrode system is used. The proposed ozonizer consists of nine units of the electrode system which are mounted in parallel in a box type reactor. Therefore, in this ozonizer, a screen type discharge can be produced. The main results are summarized as follows.
(1) In the case of the ozonizer with one unit of rod-to-rod electrode system, the optimum gap spacing was 0.7-1.0 mm. Filamentary uniform discharge can be obtained along the gap.
(2) Maximum ozone generation efficiency of 123 g/kWh (discharge power 0.7 W, ozone concentration : 340 ppm) for dry air and 375 g/kWh (discharge power 0.5 W, ozone concentration : 745 ppm) for oxygen was obtained in the ozonizer with three electrode screens at the gas flow rate of 2 L/min.
(3) Typical ozone generation characteristics of ozone concentration : 2500 ppm and ozone generation efficiency : 100 g/kWh for air and 5500 ppm and 200 g/kWh for oxygen are obtained in three screens ozonizer.
(4) Maximum ozone concentration of 3400 ppm (amount of ozone generation : 860 mg/h, ozone generation efficiency : 82 g/kWh) for air and 6800 ppm (amount of ozone generation : 1740 mg/h, ozone generation efficiency : 173 g/kWh) for oxygen are obtained.
