An electrolytic process of ozone generation using platinum-coated titanium grid
as cathode, -PbO2 deposited on the grid as anode, and batteries
in conjunction with supercapacitors as a DC power source is described. No membrane
is required to separate the electrodes, and a neutral salt such as NaCl is used
to enhance the generation of ozone gas. The electrolytic apparatus comprising a
cell, the electrodes, and a bubbler can also be inserted directly in water that
needs ozone treatment. As batteries can power the ozone generation, the apparatus
can be disposed at point-of-use and away from the city electricity. The electrolytic
apparatus can be used for sterilization of water for pharmaceutical industry, household
water supply, for surface cleaning of semiconductors, meats, fish, fruits, as well
as for disinfection of SPA water and personal hygiene.
