Ozone Formation and Oxidation Process

Stage 1: Oxygen Molecules (O₂)

The process begins with oxygen molecules (O₂) present in the environment.

Stage 2: High Voltage Splitting

High voltage energy splits oxygen molecules (O₂) into atomic oxygen (O), which is a single oxygen atom.

Stage 3: Formation of New Ozone Molecules (O₃)

The atomic oxygen (O) reacts with oxygen molecules (O₂) to form new ozone molecules (O₃).

Stage 4: Oxidation of Contaminants

The active ozone molecules (O₃) oxidize contaminants, effectively breaking them down or neutralizing them.

Key Points

• Ozone is generated by splitting oxygen molecules using high voltage.
• Atomic oxygen combines with oxygen molecules to form ozone.
• Ozone acts as a strong oxidizing agent to eliminate contaminants.
