Ozone decomposition on walls

Abstract

In this paper we have estimated the coefficient of ozone decomposition on metallic electrodes (steel, stainless steel and aluminium) in a negative dc corona discharge between a wire and a cylinder in pure oxygen. Using the obtained value of this coefficient and a reduced one-dimensional fluid model, which is described by the continuity and moment transfer equations in the drift diffusion approximation and coupled with the Poisson equation, we have computed the charged and neutral species generated in this discharge.
