Characterization Of A Novel Double Cooled Electrode Dbd Reactor For Ozone Generation, Gustavo Duarte
Characterization Of A Novel Double Cooled Electrode Dbd Reactor For Ozone Generation, Gustavo Duarte
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
The Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) is used to generate atmospheric or higher-pressure non-thermal plasmas and has found various commercial applications such as in industrial large-scale ozone generation. Ozone (O3 ) is a powerful chemical reactant that is used to kill bacteria, to deodorize and to perform water purification. The effectiveness of the DBD reactors depends on the electrode arrangements, gap lengths, dielectric materials, operating gases and feed gas quality to name a few. However, the production of O3 is heat sensitive. In order to prevent O3 destruction thermal cooling of the DBD is needed. The industry approach …
