Synthesis of Ozone in a Proton-Exchange Membrane Electrochemical Reactor
Deionized water was oxidized to ozone and oxygen at the anode in a proton exchange membrane electrochemical flow reactor. The optimum conditions for ozone generation were determined as a function of the applied voltage, electrode materials (lead dioxide powders obtained from two different commercial vendors), catalyst loadings, and reactant flow rates. Measured and calculated quantities included cell current, liquid- and gas-phase ozone concentrations, and current efficiency.
