Business AreasPrinciple of Ozone Generation
- 01
- Decomposition of Oxygen Molecules Energy Input Stage
O₂
2O
When strong energy (such as high-voltage discharge or ultraviolet radiation) is applied to oxygen (O₂), the oxygen molecules split into two oxygen atoms (O)
The generated oxygen atoms are highly unstable (in an activated state)
- 02
- Ozone Formation Recombination Stage
O
O₂O₃
The separated oxygen atom (O) recombines with an oxygen molecule (O₂) to form ozone (O₃)
- 03
- Overall Reaction Summary
3O₂2O₃
In summary, three oxygen molecules are converted into two ozone molecules.
