Macrokinetic study on ozone boundary concentration. Effect of temperature

- Ozone concentration tends to the boundary value which depends on the temperature.
- Gas temperature in the gap has little effect on ozone decomposition.
- Ozone decomposition occur primarily in the microdischarge channels.
- Under pulse discharge conditions process rate decreases linearly with conversion.

The process of ozone production in pure oxygen using the tubular, high voltage pulse supplied ozonizer was studied. The unusual methodology of conducting kinetics measurements of the ozone synthesis process was presented. It was shown how the process rate changes along the discharge gap. The effect of power density and gas residence time in the discharge gap on the process rate was analysed. The temperature influence on the course of the process, particularly on the ozone boundary concentration and ozone decomposition rate constant, was discussed.
