A series of column experiments was conducted to develop a monitoring system for in-situ and realtime measurement of ozone transport in unsaturated porous media using a fiber optic sensor. The calibration of the fiber optic transflection dip probe (FOTDP) system was successfully carried out at various ozone concentrations using a column with length of 30 cm and diameter of 5 cm packed with glass beads, which don't react with gaseous ozone. The breakthrough curves (BTCs) of ozone were obtained by converting the normalized intensity into ozone concentration. The FOTDP system worked well for in-situ monitoring of gas phase ozone at various water saturations and in presence of soil organic matter (SOM). However, the FOTDP system did not measure the ozone concentration at more than 70% water saturation.

The Effects of operating parameters such as initial pH, gaseous ozone concentration, supplied gas flow rate on dissolved ozone concentration and phenol degradation in ozone contact reactor were investigated. Dissolved ozone concentrations were saturated to constant values after a certain ozone contact time. The saturation values were influenced by experimental parameters. Dissolved ozone concentration decreased with the increase of initial pH because the ozone is unstable in high pH regions. The gaseous ozone concentration in a constant gas supply affected the saturation concentration of dissolved ozone and the injection rate of gas with a constant ozone concentration determined the rate to reach dissolved ozone saturation. Effects of operating parameters on phenol degradation were closely related with those of parameters on dissolved ozone concentration. Phenol degradation was enhanced by the increase of initial pH, because the degradation of dissolved ozone gave birth to free radicals which have much higher reactivity with phenol. Increase of gaseous ozone concentration and gas flow rate promoted the phenol degradation through the generation of dissolved ozone which plays the role in phenol degradation. The injection of methanol deteriorated the phenol degradation through the scavenging effect on OH radicals.

The dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) is a common method to create a nonthermal plasma in which electrical energy is used to create electrons with a high average kinetic energy. The unique aspect of dielectric barrier discharges is the large array of short lifetime(10ns) silent discharges created over the surface of the dielectric. A silent discharge is generated when the applied voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the carrier gas creating a conduction path between the applied electrode and grounded electrode. As charge accumulates on the dielectric, the electric field is reduced below the breakdown field of the carrier gas and the silent discharge self terminates preventing the DBD cell from producing a thermal arc. In fact, the most significant application of dielectric barrier discharges is to generate ozone for contaminated water treatment. Therefore, experiments were perfomed at 1∼2[bar] pressure using a coaxial geometry single dielectric barrier discharge for ozone concentrations and energy densities. The main result show that the concentration and efficiency of ozone are influenced by gas nature, gas quantity, gas pressure, supplied voltage and frequency.

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.

Recently, ozone is utilized in various fields and its needs are expanding. In this paper, plate type ozonizer have been fabricated to investigate discharge parameter(input power, flow rate of supplied gas, electrode form, etc.) effect to discharge. And the conditions of discharge parameter have been investigated for optimum ozone generation. Ozone concentration is continuously increased with increasing input power for same discharge space, and ozone yield is also increased until maximum point after that it is saturated. Ozone concentration is inversely proportional to flow rate of supplied gas but ozone generation and ozone yield characteristics are improved.

Surfactant-enhanced ozone sparging (SEOS), an advanced version of SEAS (surfactant-enhance air sparging) was introduced in this study for the first time for removal of non-volatile contaminant from aquifer. The advantages of implementing SEAS, enhanced air saturation and expanded zone of sparging influence, are combined with the oxidative potential of ozone gas. Experiments conducted in this study were tow fold; 1-dimensional column experiments for the changes in the gas saturation and contaminant removal during sparging, and 2-dimensional box model experiment for the changes in the size of zone of influence and contaminant removal. An anionic surfactant (SDBS, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) was used to control surface tension of water. Fluorescein sodium salt was used as a representative of watersoluble contaminants, for its fluorescence which is easy to detect when it disappears due to oxidative degradation. Three different gases (air, high-concentration ozone gas, and low-concentration ozone gas) were used for the sparging of 1-D column experiment, while two gases (air and low-concentration ozone gas) were used for 2-D box model experiment. When SEOS was performed for the column and box model, the air saturation and the zone of influence were improved significantly compared to air sparging without surface tension suppression, resulted in effective removal of the contaminant. Based on the experiments observations conducted in this study, SEOS was found to maintain the advantages of SEAS with further capability of oxidative degradation of non-volatile contaminants.

Recently, the application of atmospheric plasma technology in air filtration is increasing. Sterilization by an atmospheric plasma device is very effective. However, ozone gas, which is generated during atmospheric plasma formation, poses a hazard to human health. To reduce the ozone gas during plasma discharge, we fabricated a one-plate hybrid plasma discharge device with a heating element, which can decompose ozone gas effectively by a simple heating action. In this study, we evaluated the plasma discharge characteristics and ozone concentrations with various Ar flow rates and temperatures. With increasing Ar gas flow rate, the ozone concentration and spectrum intensity increased till an Ar gas flow rate of 60 sccm, and decreased thereafter. When discharged in high temperature, the ozone concentration and spectrum intensity decreased. Further, to evaluate the state of the treated surface under various plasma discharge and heating conditions, we measured the variation in the contact angles on the surface. Regardless of the temperature, the contact angle increased with increasing discharge voltage. However, the contact angle increased when discharged at high temperature.

In this paper, ozonizer using U-type lamp(Olamp) has been designed and manufactured, which can perform a role of lighting source and ozonizer by using photo and chemical methods. The discharge, spectrum, illuminance, ozone concentration, ozone generation, ozone yield and sterilization characteristics of Olamp have been studied. The important conclusions obtained from this paper can be summa'||'&'||'not;rized as follows. As a result of spectrum characteristics for Olamp, ultraviolet ray of a short wave'||'&'||'not;lengths and a visible ray are radiated. The illuminance of Olamp was found to be useful for "color distinctive and intermittent works in the dark working spaces" in accordance with KS A 3011.

Also, ozone conce tration and generation of gaseous phase are rised more commercial oxygen gas than those trial air gas for constant quality of supplied gas. Ozone generation and ozone yield of gaseous phase are proportion'||'&'||'not;al to ozone concentration of gaseous phase. The characteristics of liquid ozone concentration at distilled water are proportional to circulating velocity of fermentation chamber and ozone concentration of gas'||'&'||'not;eous phase. As a result, the sterilization characteristics of Escherichia coli have been obtained more than 97[ % J.

Fishman and Larson (1987) derived tropical tropospheric column ozone by subtracting stratospheric column ozone measured by the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) from total column ozone obtained by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS). Later, the Convective Cloud Differential (CCD) method (Ziemke et al., 1998) indicated stratospheric ozone is invariant with longitude and concluded the zonal variation of total ozone determines the zonal variation of tropospheric ozone.
