This paper presents a model for a pin-to-cylinder discharge type ozonizer, which utilizes the superposition of surface discharge and corona discharge operation. By changing the gas flow rate, the discharge power and the number of SDO units, the characteristics of ozone concentration ( $O_{3con}$), ozone generation ( $O_{3g}$) and ozone yield ( $O_{3Y}$) were investigated. Using one SDO unit the maximum values of $O_{3con}$, $O_{3g}$ and $O_{3Y}$ were found as 8100[ppm], 1623[mg/h] and 213[g/kWh] respectively. With two SDO units the corresponding values were found as 12800[ppm], 2893[mg/h] and 248[g/kWh] respectively. Hence using two SDO units the efficiency was improved by 16[%].y 16[%].

The ozone generation is commonly made with silent discharge method using quartz glass dielectric. In this paper, using $Al_2O_3$ dielectric to instead of the traditional quartz glass dielectric to improve the system efficiency is presented. The dielectric was manufactured as tube shape (Internal diameter${\times}$ Outside diameter: $11{\times}15mm$) using 99% $Al_2O_3$ ceramic. The characteristics of dielectric discharge and ozone generation were studied of experiments with variation of discharge power, discharge electrode space and rate of flow for supplied gas ($O_2$/Air). As the experimental results, in the same discharge space, the ozone concentration continuously increased with input power increasing, and ozone yield increased until saturation happened. Also, the expended power increased with discharge space extended due to discharge power increased. In additional, the ozone concentration of oxygen ozone was higher than air that was observed when using oxygen ozone in proposed experiments.

The response of seventy-five rice cultivars to ozone (O$_3$) were tested in the open-top chamber with ozone producing and monitoring system to determine the varietal difference of resistance to $O_3$ stress. Ozone was produced by electrostatic discharge in oxygen and was monitored by UV absorption ozone analyzer. Difference in response of rice to ozone was more clearly appeared on rice plants treated for 2 to 4 hours at 0.3 ppm concentration of $O_3$. Varietal resistance of rice to ozone was more distinctly classified at 21- to 35-day seedlings compared with 14-day rice plants. Most of indica and Tongil(indica$\times$japonica) type rice cultivars were more resistant than that of japonica cultivars based on the leaf injury to $O_3$. Eight Korean cultivars belong to japonica groups showed highly resistant reaction to $O_3$. Ozone exposure during booting stage caused lower grain fertility than exposures during seedling, maximum tillering and heading stages of rice.

Ozone-based advanced oxidation was applied for the treatment of anaerobic digestion effluent of livestock wastewater. Initial COD and color value were 930 mg/L and 0.04, respectively, and the 1/10-diluted wastewater was used for the study. The treatment characteristics were compared between the conventionally generated ozone ($105{\mu}m$) and microbubbled ozone ($13{\mu}m$). The use of microbubbled ozone improved the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color by 85% and 26%, respectively, compared with the conventionally bubbled ozone. The application of microbubbled $O_3/UV$, $O_3/H_2O_2$, $O_3/UV/H_2O_2$ combinations resulted in 5~10% higher color removal than ozone alone, which implies that the contribution of UV or $H_2O_2$ is not significant in color removal. On the other hand, COD removal could be increased two folds compared with ozone alone through $O_3/UV/H_2O_2$ combination. The contribution of $H_2O_2$ was bigger than UV for COD removal with microbubbled ozone. Due to the enhancement of dissolved ozone and radical activity, the microbubbling enabled us to additional COD removal even after stopping ozone supply in the presence of UV or $H_2O_2$.

This work was carried out ozone generation and TCE decomposition characteristics using dielectric ball materials filled barrier discharge reactor and catalyst's reactor for ozone decomposition. Ozone concentration generated from $Al_2O_3$ or $TiO_2$ filled barrier discharge reactor was so high compared with non-filled discharge reactor. This reactor is good discharge structure for generating the high ozone concentration. In addition, TCE decomposition rate and COx conversion rate increased using $MnO_2$ filled discharge reactor, because ozone was decomposed at the same discharge space on the surface of $MnO_2$ catalysts. To identify the $MnO_2$ catalytic effects, TCE decomposition rate reached to 100[%] by the decomposition of ozone at $MnO_2$ catalyst's reactor by the arrangement of $Al_2O_3$ filled discharge reactor and $MnO_2$ catalyst reactor. Finally, $MnO_2$ catalyst is good materials for the decomposition of ozone and this process will be useful for decomposing VOCs such as TCE.

Ozone concentrations in water and air, and resulting disinfective properties, were measured following generation by either an ozone generator or a low-temperature dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator. In freshwater, ozone concentrations of 0.81 and 0.48 mg/L $O_3$ were observed after the ozone and plasma generators had been operated for five minutes, respectively. Higher levels of dissolved $O_3$ were attained more easily with the ozone generator. In seawater, both systems were capable of creating concentrations greater than 3.00 mg/L $O_3$ after 5minutes of operation. Higher ozone levels were attained more easily in seawater than in freshwater. Rates of bacterial sterilization in seawater after three minutes were 96% and 88%, using the plasma and ozone generators, respectively. In freshwater, higher concentrations of ozone were released into the atmosphere by the ozone generator than by the plasma generator. In creating equivalent levels of dissolved ozone in freshwater, the plasma generator released 4.5 times more ozone into the atmosphere than did the ozone generator. This shows that ozone generators are more effective than plasma generators for creating ozonated water. For the same concentration of dissolved ozone in seawater, more ozone was released into the atmosphere using the ozone generator than using the plasma generator. Therefore, with regard to air pollution, plasma generators seem to be less expensive than ozone generators.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical quenching system for residual ozone and to determine the operating condition for the quenching system. Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) and sodium thiosulfate ($Na_2S_2O_3$) were investigated as quenching reagents for ozone removal, and the tendency of each chemical was notably different. In the case of $H_2O_2$, the degradation rate of ozone was increased as the concentration of $H_2O_2$ increase, and temperature and pH value have a significant effect on the degradation rate of ozone. On the other hand, the degradation rate of ozone was not affected by the concentration of $Na_2S_2O_3$, temperature and pH value, due to the high reactivity between the ${S_2O_3}^{2-}$ and ozone. This study evaluates the decomposition mechanism of ozone by $H_2O_2$ and $Na_2S_2O_3$ with consideration for the water quality and reaction time. Furthermore, the removal test for the quenching reagents, which can be remained after reaction with ozone, was conducted by GAC process.

This study was designed to elucidate the effect of ozone exposure on the bacteria counts and oxidative properties of ground Hanwoo beef contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 at refrigeration temperature. Ground beef was inoculated with 7 Log CFU/g of E. coli O157:H7 isolated from domestic pigs and was then subjected to ozone exposure ($10{\times}10^{-6}kg\;O_3h^{-1}$) at $4^{\circ}C$ for 3 d. E. coli O157:H7, total aerobic and anaerobic bacterial growth and oxidative properties including instrumental color changes, TBARS, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity were evaluated. Ozone exposure significantly prohibited (p<0.05) the growths of E. coli O157:H7, total aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in ground beef samples during storage. Ozone exposure reduced (p<0.05) the CIE $a^*$ value of samples over storage time. The CIE $L^*$ and CIE $b^*$ values of the samples fluctuated over storage time, and ozone had no clear effect. Ozone exposure increased the TBARS values during 1 to 3 d of storage (p<0.05). The CAT and GPx enzyme activities were not affected by ozone exposure until 2 and 3 d of storage, respectively. This study provides information about the use of ozone exposure as an antimicrobial agent for meat under refrigerated storage. The results of this study provide a foundation for the further application of ozone exposure by integrating an ozone generator inside a refrigerator. Further studies regarding the ozone concentrations and exposure times are needed.
