Abstract:
A method for improving ozone production by irradiation from a gas comprising oxygen, the method comprising the steps of:(a) flowing said gas comprising oxygen and formed ozone by means of a pressurized force into a path surrounding an irradiation source, said path including an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter; (B) simultaneously exposing said gas comprising oxygen to said irradiation source whereby it is irradiated to produce ozone; (C) simultaneously cooling said gas comprising oxygen to reduce ozone decomposition; and (D) simultaneously causing higher density formed ozone to move toward said outer perimeter of said path whereby said ozone receives lower levels of irradiation to minimize ozone decomposition and causing lower density oxygen in said oxygen containing gas to move toward said inner perimeter of said path whereby said lower density oxygen receives higher levels of irradiation to improve ozone production.
