Abstract
Ozone is widely used for water purification. Since it cannot be stored without decomposing it must be generated as required. The preferred methods of generation using the silent electric discharge are described as well as conditions required for maximizing the efficiency. Alternate methods of generation are discussed and two recent developments are reviewed. In the first the ozone generation takes place at an air-water interface through the novel use of an ac electric discharge from the water surface. The second describes an automated method for the accurate measurement of electric power dissipated in the silent electric discharge in ozone generators.
