Abstract
A new theoretical model for ozone generation from air is proposed. This model considers the dependency of the ozone dissociation rate by electron impact on the electric field strength, in addition to ozone decomposition processes through the reactions with nitrogen oxides. Assuming a stationary and uniform discharge in time and space, ozone concentrations obtained experimentally under various discharge gap widths and gas pressures are in good agreement with the analytical results. It is concluded that the discharge condition of a narrow gap and accordingly an optimized high gas pressure is one of the most effective means of efficient ozone generation for an air-fed ozone generator.Keywords
