The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has low efficiency due to about 70% input power is consumed as thermal energy in the discharge space. However, because of the usage of DBD ozone generator is easier than other methods. The DBD ozone generator has been widely applied for high concentration ozone generation in the industrial application. But, the low-capacity compact DBD ozone generator is not applied so far. Therefore, the DBD ozone generator is necessary to improve ozone production efficiency and reduce the capacity. In this paper, the stainless steel pipe inner electrode was designed with hall type and screw type to improve the ozone production yield. The manufactured two inner electrodes were experimented with normal type for comparison of the discharge characteristics and the ozone generating characteristics. As the experimental results, the discharge current effective value of designed inner electrodes with hall type and screw type are higher than the normal type, due to unequal electric field is formed at the boundary. However, the difference of designed and original electrodes is less than 0.1mA that has no effect on the discharge characteristic. On the other hand, the screw type inner electrode increased higher than original model about 7 times when the flow rate of the oxygen source gas was increased from $0.6{\ell}/min$ to $1.0{\ell}/min$ The reason was assumed by the flow rate of the raw gas through the inner electrode was became fast that has a cooling effect. The designed hall type and screw type inner electrodes have shown good performances in ozone generation and ozone production that better than normal type in the same electrode surface area.

본 연구는 오존용해탱크 구조에 따라 마이크로오존버블의 분포, 에너지 소비, 수처리 효율이 어떻게 변하는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 오존용해탱크 내부의 격판은 압력의 변화, 전단력, 선회유동을 발생시키고 이는 버블 직경의 크기에 변화를 준다. 버블 직경의 크기는 내부의 격판에 따라 10.5%까지 차이가 났다. 오존 버블 직경의 변화는 에너지 소비와 관련이 깊다. 오존 버블이 작아질수록 버블생성에너지는 높아지지만 용존 효율이 올라가면서 오존생산에너지는 줄어들게 된다. 따라서 버블생성에너지와 오존생산에너지의 합이 최소인 마이크로오존버블을 생성하는 오존용해탱크를 선정하여야 한다. 동일한 양의 오존가스을 방류수에 주입하기 위해 소비된 에너지는 내부의 격판에 따라 2.5%까지 차이가 났다. 하지만 수처리 효율까지 고려한다면 오존용해탱크 선정 조건이 달라진다. 오존 버블이 작아질수록 증가하는 자유라디칼이 수처리에 매우 효율적이기 때문이다. 동일한 오존주입농도에서도 내부의 격판에 따라 수처리 효율이 10.4%까지 차이가 났다. 따라서 수처리 효율과 에너지 효율을 고려하여 합리적인 마이크로오존버블을 생성하는 오존용해탱크 구조에 대하여 연구하였다.

We compared the applicability and economical efficiency of peroxone process with those of ozone process in the existing water treatment plant on downstream of Nakdong River. After comparing the peroxone process for removing geosmin with the ozone process in lab scale test, peroxone process showed much higher removal efficiency than the ozone process at the same ozone dosage. Proper range of $H_2O_2/O_3$ ratio were 0.5~1.0 and the half-life of geosmin was about 5.5~6.8 min when the $H_2O_2/O_3$ ratio was set to 0.5 during 1~2 mg/L of ozone dosage. Peroxone process could reduce the ozone dosage about 50 to maximum 30% for the same geosmin removal efficiency compared to the ozone process in the pilot scale test. In case of 1,4-dioxane treatment, peroxone process could have 3~4 times higher efficiency than ozone process at the same ozone dosage. The results of estimating the economical efficiency of ozone and peroxone process for treating geosmin and 1,4-dioxane by using pilot scale test, in case of the removal target was set to 85% for these two materials, the cost of peroxane process could be reduced about 1.5 times compared to ozone process, and in the same production cost peroxone process could have 2~3 times higher removal efficiency than ozone process. The removal efficiency by peroxone process showed a large difference depending on the physicochemical characteristics of target materials and raw water, therefore detailed examination should be carried out before appling peroxone process.

It is known that transformer based power supplies for ozone generators have low efficiency, high cost and exhibits a limited frequency range of operation. To overcome these disadvantages, this paper proposes a high frequency ozone generator with the absence of a transformer. The voltage step-up is achieved only by utilizing the resonant tank. This is made possible by a novel combination of ozone chamber materials that allow ozone to be generated at only 1.5 - 3.5 $kV_{p-p}$. The input to the resonant tank is driven by a PWM full bridge resonant inverter. Furthermore, zero-current zero-voltage switching (ZCZVS) operation is achieved by employing a duty factor of 25% between the switches of the full bridge. The advantages of the proposed system include high efficiency, low cost and the ability to control ozone production by varying the input voltage to the inverter. The prototype is verified by both simulation and experimental results.

We conducted intensive observations of ozone, CO, $NO_x$ (=NO and $NO_2$), $NO_y$ (total odd nitrogen species including particulate nitrate) and total nitrate (the sum of gaseous $HNO_3$ and particulate nitrate) at Cape Hedo, Okinawa, Japan, from 19 March to 3 April, 2009, to investigate ozone production during long-range transport from the Asian continent. Ozone production efficiency (OPE) was used to evaluate photochemical ozone production. OPE is defined as the number of molecules of ozone produced photochemically during the lifetime of a $NO_x$ molecule. OPE is calculated by the ratio of the concentration increase of ozone to that of $NO_z$ ($=NO_y-NO_x$). Average OPE during observation was estimated to be $12.6{\pm}0.5$, but concentrations of ozone increased nonlinearly with those of $NO_z$. This non-linearity suggests that OPE depends on air mass origin and $NO_z$ concentrations. There were very different values of OPE for the same air mass origin, so that only the air mass origin alone does not control OPE. OPE was low when $NO_z$ concentration was high. We examined the correlation between $NO_z$ and $CO/NO_y$ ratios, which we used instead of the ratio of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) to $NO_x$. The $CO/NO_y$ ratios decreased with increasing $NO_z$ concentrations. These results indicate that competition reactions of OH with NMHCs and $NO_2$ are the rate determining steps of photochemical ozone production during long-range transport from the Asian continent to Cape Hedo, for high concentrations of nitrogen oxides.

In addition to its strong oxidizing power, the ozone has definite advantages over other commercial oxidants, namely, no undesirable by- products or residues are formed. With growing interest in the improvement of the ozone production in the industrial fields, many types of ozonizer using the electrical discharges have been proposed for the higher efficiency and the higher Performance at atmospheric Pressure. Among them, a superposition of different type discharges has been proposed. Especially, since the improvement for the low efficiency of dc discharge and narrow gap of surface discharge is required, a do and an at voltage are applied to same reaction space (or volume) to increase energy density at the same space. An investigation was focused on the superposition with a dc (streamer) corona and 3 surface discharge. This paper describes the investigation results on fundamental ozone generation characteristics by this superimposed discharge.

본 연구에서는 오존의 용해효율 개선과 자가분해 촉진을 위해 나노기포와 초음파 캐비테이션을 동시에 적용한 오존 나노기포 공정을 조사하였다. 공정의 유기물 분해효율을 파악하기 위해 200mm × 200mm × 300mm 규모의 반응기를 제작하여 다양한 조건에서 페놀 분해 실험을 진행하였다. 나노기포의 사용은 60분 반응에서 페놀 분해 효율을 일반적인 폭기 방식에 비해 2.07배 증가시켰으며, 용존 오존의 최대 용해농도를 크게 증가시켜 오존의 용해효율 개선에 효과적이었다. 초음파 조사는 나노기포와 함께 사용될 때 페놀 분해 효율을 36% 증가시켰으며 오존의 자가 분해 촉진으로 용존 오존은 낮게 나타났다. 초음파 출력이 강할수록 페놀 분해 효율도 증가하였으며, 실험에서 사용한 28kHz, 132kHz, 580kHz 중 132kHz의 주파수에서 페놀의 분해 효율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 오존 나노공정은 기존 오존 공정과 같이 높은 pH에서 더 좋은 분해효율을 보였으나 중성에서도 60분 반응 후 페놀 100% 분해를 달성하여 pH에 의한 영향이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 초음파에 의한 오존 자가분해 촉진에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 초음파 조사에 의한 기포 특성 변화를 확인하기 위해 Zetasizer를 이용하여 기포의 크기와 제타 전위 분석을 진행하였으며 초음파 조사가 기포의 평균 크기를 11% 감소시키고 기포 표면의 음전하를 강화하여 오존 나노기포의 물질전달과 수산화 라디칼 생성 효율에 긍정적인 효과를 끼치는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, characteristics of ozone generation by using coil and SPCP + DC corona reactor was studied. The ceramic-based surface discharge electrode, which was first invented as a high-efficiency ozonizer, has been used as an experimental plasma chemical reactor.(Surface Induced Plasma Chemical Processing, SPCP.) The electrode, however, has a structural disadvantage that a highly energetic plasma region is localized near the electrode surface, which may make it impossible for higher efficiency to realize. In an attempt to overcome this advantage, we have developed a hybrid reactor which employs a corona discharge unit together with the surface discharge unit. Experimental results suggest that the efficiency of the ozone production rate is improved when positive corona discharge is added.

There are a number of small scale application fields of ozone, such as food conservation and/or storage in refrigerators, containers and storage rooms, deodorization in the production and living areas, protection against biohazards, bleaching of fabrics, etc. For these applications, miniaturization, ozone controllability and costdown of the ozonizer are the most essential points, whereas power efficiency is the most imporant factor in the case of a large scale ozonizer used in various industrial applications. It has been developed a novel sawtooth-to-cylinder type micro-ozonizer meeting above the three points by using a negative pulse corona discharge. As a result of the observations of pulse coronas affecting ozone generation, it is found that the maximum ozone concentration is generated at the pulse streamer coronas in both positive and negative case. The ozone concentration (20ppm/2l/min) generated by the negative pulse corona is about 2 times higher than that of the positive pulse corona, and could be controllable linearly by adjusting the dc input voltage of the [supply-inth ] cinventional small scale ozonizers. As a result, the present ozonizer is also very good to be used as a micro-ozonizer.
