Used as a disinfectant, ozone has a very fast action at low concentrations (both in water and in air), being very effective in the elimination of fungi, bacteria, viruses and protozoa, as well as in the degradation of chemical compounds such as VOCs ( volatile organic compounds), and those responsible for bad odors, so an additional benefit of ozone disinfection is deodorization. In addition, it decomposes very quickly (it is a very unstable molecule, its half-life is 20-60 minutes) so it leaves no residual.Ozone (O3) is a substance whose molecule is made up of three oxygen atoms, formed by dissociating the two atoms that normally make up the oxygen gas.
When oxygen in the air is subjected to a high-energy pulse, like lightning, the oxygen O = O double bond breaks, delivering two atoms, which then recombine with other molecules of this element. These recombined molecules contain three oxygen atoms instead of two, which gives rise to ozone.
Due to the instability of the compound, ozone must be produced at the application site using generators. The operation of these devices is simple: they pass a flow of oxygen through two electrodes. In this way, when applying a determined voltage, a current of electrons is caused in the space delimited by the electrodes, which is where the gas passes. These electrons will cause the dissociation of oxygen molecules that will later form ozone.Ozone (O3) is a substance whose molecule is made up of three oxygen atoms, formed by dissociating the two atoms that normally make up the oxygen gas.
