DISTRIBUTION OF MICRODISCHARGES AND INFLUENCE OF DIELECTRIC SURFACE ON OZONE YIELD

Abstract

The distribution of microdischarges in time and space, the influence of dielectric surface on microdischarges, and the characteristic of ozone generation were studied using electrical and optical methods. As a result, the phenomenon of a chain of microdischarges occurring in a brief period could be observed. In addition, it was found that the microdischarge characteristic, collective microdischarge phenomenon, and ozone yield varies according to the surface condition of the dielectric electrode. The ozone yield was high with a glass surface and low with a ceramic surface.
