Abstract:
An ozone generator is proposed which comprises a plurality of plate-like ozone generating elements, stacked one on top of the other, which are in at least partial contact with a process water stream, each of the ozone generating elements having at least one plate-like, electrically insulated inner electrode and at least one likewise plate-like counterelectrode, between which a space is provided for a gas discharge. According to the invention, the ozone generating elements are situated at a distance from one another, perpendicular to their plate-like extension, in such a way that process water is able to flow between the ozone generating elements over substantial surface regions of the plate-like ozone generating elements.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device comprising an ozonizer (1) in the first region (1') of which container (1) ozone is formed which is dispersed into fluid by a gas feed organ (3). The thusly formed two-phase mixture flows through a second region (1") of the ozonizer (1) to a phase separating element (13). Through the arrangement and disposition of the gas feed organ (3) on the fluid entry side, the second region (1") forms and defines a flow region for the two-phase mixture resulting in the greatest possible ozone feed into the fluid. Such devices have especial application for the sterilization of drinking and bath water.
Abstract:
A continuous reaction is effected in a gas stream by an electric discharge at a point in the stream where the flow has been made supersonic and the pressure and temperature lowered by a substantially adiabatic expansion. Various forms of apparatus for carrying out such a process are described. The apparatus may be used for the production of ozone which is used to convert ethylene and tetramethyl-ethylene fed into the apparatus into the corresponding ozonides. On leaving the apparatus the ozonides are converted in the presence of water into formaldehyde and acetone respectively.ALSO:A continuous reaction is effected in a gas stream by an electric discharge at a point in the stream where the flow has been made supersonic and the pressure and temperature lowered by a substantially adiabatic expansion. One form of apparatus, Fig. 1, comprises a supersonic nozzle 1, a pressure reducing chamber 17 for starting the action of the nozzle and a recompression chamber 13. Gas from an inlet pipe 6 passes along a cylindrical chamber 5 to a convergent part 2 of the nozzle 1 and then expands in a divergent part 4. A hollow electrode 8 supported by insulators 9 and 10 in the chamber 5 produces a discharge at the outlet 7 of the nozzle 1. The recompression chamber 13 comprises a convergent part 14, a cylindrical part 15 and a divergent part 16. This apparatus may be used for the production of acetylene and hydrogen from methane gas, or for the cracking of other hydrocarbons. An alternative form of apparatus is described in which the electrode 8 is extended to the part 16 of the chamber 13 and is closed at the end, but is provided with side vents for the injection of methane into the part 15 of the chamber 13. Two discharges are set up, the first at the end of the nozzle 1 for producing ozone, and the second in the chamber 13 for partially oxidizing the methane.
Abstract:
A recirculating loop method for producing and/or using ozone is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: supplying a gas mixture comprising oxygen and a catalyst, generating ozone from the gas mixture, and recirculating the gas mixture. In a preferred method, the method comprises the additional steps of: reacting the ozone with a chemically reactive species and adding sufficient oxygen to the oxygen and noble gas mixture to maintain the specific oxygen to noble gas ratio. Preferably, the ozone is generated by electrical discharge from oxygen and noble gas mixtures of a volume ratio of not greater than 9 to 1 oxygen to catalyst gas. The closed loop apparatus for generating ozone gas comprises: an electrical discharge chamber (20), a means (12) for supplying oxygen to said electrical discharge (20), a means (11) for supplying a catalyst to said electrical discharge (20), an application chamber (70) connected to said electrical chamber (20), a means (70) for supplying a chemically reactive species to said application chamber (70), a means (50) for removing said chemically reactive species from said application chamber (70), and a means (50) for returning oxygen and the catalyst to said electrical discharge chamber (20).
