Process for making ozone
Abstract
Abstract A novel process and apparatus for synthesizing high-purity ozone (or for preparing test gas mixtures containing ozone). The process involves containing liquid nitrogen inside a vacuum dewar, supporting a dielectric ozonizer in the liquid nitrogen, evacuating the ozonizer to a low vacuum through a vacuum outlet, closing the vacuum outlet of the ozonizer, introducing highpurity oxygen into the ozonizer through an inlet, closing the inlet, applying a source of high-discharge alternating voltage across metal electrodes and oxygen therebetween, and removing the ozone thereby formed. The product is high-purity ozone. The apparatus comprises a two-walled annular ozonizer of Pyrex glass with electrodes secured onto the outer and inner surfaces.
