Abstract
A comprehensive model of ozone generation in dielectric barrier discharges is presented. The model combines the physical processes in the micro-discharges with the chemistry of ozone formation. It is based on an extensive reaction scheme including the major electronic and ionic processes. The importance of excited atomic and molecular states is demonstrated. Theoretical limits are given for the ozone production efficiency and the attainable ozone concentration. The most important parameters influencing the performance of ozonisers are identified. All theoretical predictions are compared to measured data.
