Abstract:
A method for conditioning an ozone gas recycle stream in an ozone pulp bleaching process. The method includes the steps of providing an oxygen containing feed gas to an ozone generator; generating ozone from said feed gas to produce an ozone rich oxygen gas; bleaching pulp with said ozone rich gas, thereby producing an exhaust gas containing contaminants including carbon dioxide and entrained pulp fibers; removing at least some of said contaminants by at least removing entrained pulp fibers from the exhaust gas to produce a recycle gas; directing said recycle gas into the ozone generator to provide at least a portion of said oxygen containing feed gas; and removing carbon dioxide during said contaminant removal step in an amount sufficient to a level of about 6 wt. wt. % to thus allow operation of the ozone generator at or approaching full capacity.
Abstract:
Ozone is generated from an oxygen-containing gas utilizing a tube-type ozone generator at significantly greater power efficiency. The oxygen is introduced into the annular passageway between the electrodes of the tube-type ozone generator at an angle (e.g. about 45.degree.-90.degree.) so that it swirls in a cyclonic flow path as it travels from one end of the annular passageway to the other. The amount of power consumed to produce a gas having about 8% ozone is roughly half of the power needed if the same conditions are applied but the oxygen gas is introduced conventionally (without swirling action, so that it travels along the dimension of elongation of the passageway). The swirling action also allows a higher concentration of ozone (e.g. 10% or more) to be achieved in the product gas compared to the same conditions when no swirling is employed. Cooling fluid, such as nitrogen gas, may be passed through an interior passageway and outside the outer electrode either co-current or countercurrent to the general direction of oxygen gas flow.
Abstract:
A method for ozonation of a water stream by providing at least 70% by volume oxygen feed gas, generating 4-8% by wt. ozone in such gas by silent electric discharge with low power per unit ozone, contacting with water to dissolve ozone, and atmospherically venting ozone-depleted gas from the contacting.
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:
An apparatus has a tank with an interior for containing water, a nozzle for directing ozonated water out of the spray apparatus, and an electrolytic cell located between the nozzle and the tank. The electrolytic cell is configured to ozonate water as the water flows from the tank to the nozzle. The apparatus also includes a power source for providing electric potential to the electrolytic cell. The tank, nozzle, and electrolytic cell all are part of a single spray bottle or dispenser (e.g., like a soap dispenser).
