A Pin-Cylinder discharge type ozonizer was designed and manufactured. The increase or decrease of temperature greatly influences on the characteristics of ozone generation of a discharge type ozonizer. The characteristics of ozone concentration ( $O_{3con}$), ozone generation ($_{3g}$) and ozone yield .ate ($_{3Y}$) of the ozonizer were investigated by varying the gas flow rate (Q), the discharge power ($_{Wd}$ ) and the temperature (T). At T = 20($^{\circ}C$), the values of ( $O_{3con}$) were found as 7800,5300,3000 and 2300(ppm) at Q=1,2,4 and 6(1/min) respectively. The corresponding values of ( $O_{3g}$) were found as 917, l247,1411 and 1623(mg/h) and those of ( $O_{3Y}$) were 93,126,143 and 164(g/kWh) respectively. When the temperature is decreased to -50($^{\circ}C$), the values of ( $O_{3con}$) became 12000,8000,5200 and 3600(ppm) at Q=1,2,4 and 6(1/min) respectively. The corresponding values of 0,9 were obtained as 1411,1882,2446 and 2600(mg/h) and those of ($O_{3Y}$) were 143,190,247 and 2631g/kWh] respectively. Hence as the temperature was decreased from 20 to -50[。C], the efficiencies of ozone generation were increased by 54,51,73 and 60[%] at Q=1,2,4 and 6(1/min) respectively.ctively.

Generation of hydroxyl radical, one of their major active species in ozonation of water was directly observed with spin-trapping/electron spin resonance (ESR) technique using 5,5-dimethyl-pyrrolidine-1-oxyl (DMPO) as a spin-trapping reagent. Hydroxyl radical was trapped with DMPO as a stable radical, DMPO-OH. 80 mM of ozone produced $1.08{\times}10^{-6}$M of DMPO-OH, indicating that 1.4% of ${\cdot}$OH is trapped with DMPO if ${\cdot}$OH is produced stoichiometrically from ozone. Humic acid suppressed DMPO-OH generation in a dose-dependent manner. Generation rate of DMPO-OH was determined with ESR/stopped-flow measurement. Phenol derivatives increased the amount and generation rate of DMPO-OH, indicating that phenol derivatives enhance·OH generation during ozonation of water.

There are many effective parameters to high concentration ozone generation. These parameters became very important elements should be considered before designing ozone generator. After designing, there are many peripheral parameters to greatly affect to high concentration ozone generation also. In this study, of many effective peripheral parameters on high concentration ozone generation, the effects of flow rate of inlet oxygen gas and some kinds of additional gases on ozone concentration were investigated As a result, when inlet oxygen gas was introduced at the range of 0.75［LPM］～2.00［LPM］ the highest ozone concentration of 71145［ppm］ was obtained at 1.25［LPM］. When the additional nitrogen gas was mixed to oxygen gas at the range of 0.0［vol%]～6.4［vol%］ the highest ozone concentration of 73135［ppm］ was obtained at 0.8［vol%］ of nitrogen gas. This showed 3［%］ increasing compared to the case of pure oxygen gas inlet. When the additional argon gas was mixed to oxygen gas at the range of 0.0［vol%］～6.4［vol%］ the highest concentration of 67288［ppm］was obtained at 0.8［vol%］of argon gas. This is decreased value compared to that of introducing the pure oxygen.

In order to investigate the optimum conditions for the effective ozone formation in a dielectric barrier discharge, measurements of ozone concentration were carried out for various conditions such as the gap length, the dielectric material and the operating gas. It was found that the optimum discharge conditions differed exceedingly in the types of operating gases and dielectric materials. In dry air, dielectric material with low dielectric constant and thermal conductivity, which might contribute to the restriction of the gas temperature rise in the discharge region, proved effective in obtaining both high ozone yield and concentration. The optimum gap length was considered to be in the range of 600-800 mm. In oxygen, using a quartz glass disk as a dielectric material, the required condition to obtain the high ozone yield and concentration was expanded.

In this paper, a plate type ozonizer has been designed and manufactured to minimize the size of ozonizer. This ozonizer have following benefits: convenience of shift and installation maximize space utility. Therefore, ozone generation characteristics have been investigated by varying flow rate, supplied power and gap spacing of plate electrodes.

In this paper, characteristics of ozone generation by using coil and SPCP + DC corona reactor was studied. The ceramic-based surface discharge electrode, which was first invented as a high-efficiency ozonizer, has been used as an experimental plasma chemical reactor.(Surface Induced Plasma Chemical Processing, SPCP.) The electrode, however, has a structural disadvantage that a highly energetic plasma region is localized near the electrode surface, which may make it impossible for higher efficiency to realize. In an attempt to overcome this advantage, we have developed a hybrid reactor which employs a corona discharge unit together with the surface discharge unit. Experimental results suggest that the efficiency of the ozone production rate is improved when positive corona discharge is added.

In this paper, the ozonizer is equipped with three electrodes ( two external electrodes, central electrode ), and AC high voltage which has 180[$180^{circ}C$] phase difference is applied to two H V. Ozone discharge and generation charactristics have been investigated in accordance with output voltage of power supply, flow-rate, discharge power. Ozone concentration, generation and yield were proportionally increased with increasing discharge area size.

Characteristics of Discharge and nonthermal plasma generation in a micro-air gap spacing between a micro-dielectric barrier and a electrode have been investigated experimentally to chert the potential to be used as a micro-scale nonthermal plasma generator. It is found that the output ozone concentration, as a nonthermal plasma intensity parameter, of the micro-air gnp nonthermal plasma generator depended greatly upon the air gap spacing and thickness of the dielectric barrier. As a result, there is a optimal air gap sparing in the same micro dielectric barrier to generate ozone effectively. And the higher ozone concentration was generated from the thinner micro-barrier.

A novel ozonizer has been developed using a high-frequency surface discharge and a high purity alumina ceramic as its dielectric component. A thin ceramic layer, cylindrical in form, is adhered by a film-like induction electrode. An ac exciting voltage of frequency to 0.6 kHz from 1.0 kHz and $6{\sim}9kV$ peak-to-peak is applied between the electrodes to produce a stable high-frequency silent discharge for generation of ozone. A substantial reduction of the exciting voltage is also enabled by using a thin alumina ceramic layer. As a result, the ozonizer can easily produce ozone concentration($128g/m^2$ for oxygen) and power efficiency(360g/kWh for oxygen) without using a special enrichment means.

A novel ozonizer has been developed using a high frequence surface discharge and a high purity ceramic as its dielectric component. And A cylindrical thin compound ceramic catalyst in reactor is adhered to inside of the film-like outside electrode. An ac exciting voltage with frequency to 0.6 kHz from 1.0 kHz and $4{\sim}6$ kV of peak-to-peak is applied between the electrodes to produce a stable high-frequency silent discharge for generation of ozone. A substantial reduction of the exciting voltage is also enabled by using a thin ceramic.
