I. The Role and Importance of Oxygen in Ozone Production
1.Basic Raw Material: Ozone (O₃) is produced through the transformation of oxygen (O₂) under specific reactions. Under conditions such as ultraviolet irradiation, corona discharge, or ionization, oxygen molecules are dissociated into oxygen atoms (O), which then combine with undissociated oxygen molecules to form ozone (O + O₂ → O₃).
2.Key to Reaction Efficiency: The concentration of oxygen directly affects ozone generation efficiency. High-purity oxygen (e.g., supplied by PSA oxygen generation equipment) can significantly improve ozone yield and concentration by reducing interference from other gases (e.g., nitrogen) in the reaction.
II. Advantages of PSA/VPSA On-Site Oxygen Systems as Oxygen Sources
1.Enhanced Ozone Generation Efficiency:
•Using pressure/vacuum swing adsorption (PSA/VPSA) principles, high-purity oxygen (over 90%) is separated from air, enabling a 3-5 times increase in ozone production compared to direct use of air (oxygen concentration: 21%).
•High-purity oxygen reduces side reactions, improving ozone concentration, particularly for scenarios with strict requirements (e.g., water treatment, medical sterilization).
2.Reduced Operational Costs:
On-demand oxygen production avoids energy and resource waste associated with traditional liquid oxygen or high-pressure cylinder transportation.
3. Improved Safety and Stability:
•Eliminates risks of liquid oxygen or cylinder storage, such as leaks or explosions during transportation.
•Smart monitoring systems enable real-time tracking of oxygen purity, pressure, and flow, ensuring stable oxygen supply.
•Buffer tank designs smooth oxygen demand peaks, reduce pipeline pressure fluctuations, and extend equipment lifespan.
4.Flexible Adaptation to Diverse Scenarios:
•Customizable designs support applications of varying scales (e.g., hospitals, wastewater treatment plants, industrial workshops). Containerized oxygen systems facilitate mobility for emergency needs.
•Skid-mounted structures save space, simplify installation and maintenance, and lower operational complexity.
5. Environmental and Sustainability Benefits:
•Reduces carbon emissions and chemical pollution risks associated with liquid oxygen transportation, aligning with green production trends.
•On-demand production avoids oxygen surplus and waste, minimizing environmental impact.
Oxygen is the core raw material for ozone generation, and its purity and supply stability directly influence ozone output efficiency and application effectiveness. PSA/VPSA on-site oxygen equipment significantly enhances ozone production efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness through high-purity oxygen supply, intelligent control, and energy savings. This technology holds broad prospects in fields such as water treatment, air purification, and medical sterilization.
