Temperature influence on ozone generation and decomposition on solid surfaces
Krejsková, Eliška ; Dřímal,, Jiří (referee) ; Kozáková, Zdenka (advisor)
This master’s thesis is focused on a study of temperature influence on ozone generation and decomposition by chosen solid surfaces. Ozone is unstable gas that is decomposed spontaneously. This decomposition can be accelerated by various factors such as increase in temperature or reaction with other substances. The aim of this study is to determinate how fast the ozone decomposition proceeds at different temperatures and how the homogenous decomposition of ozone is accelerated by heterogeneous processes on the walls of solid materials. Currently in practise ozone is used in many areas and the finding of the rate of its decomposition can help to increase efficiency of its production and subsequent specific applications. In the theoretical part of the thesis, these points are described: important properties of ozone, possibilities of its utilization, the ozone generation, some methods of determination of the ozone concentration, ozone relationship to various solid surfaces and present theoretical knowledge about the effect of temperature on the ozone generation and decomposition. In the experimental part, the rate of the ozone decomposition in reaction tubes made of copper and iron of two different surface to volume ratios was investigated at temperatures of 10, 25, 40, 55, 70 and 85 °C. Ozone generated from oxygen was closed in the reaction tube and the decrease of its concentration during the time was observed by absorption spectroscopy. From obtained exponential dependencies, the rate constants at different conditions of this experiment were evaluated. The rate of ozone decomposition significantly increased with higher temperature. The fastest ozone decomposition took place in the iron tube of larger inner diameter (8 mm).

Study of ozone reactions with the surface of metallic materials
Krzyžanková, Anežka ; Kozáková, Zdenka (referee) ; Mazánková, Věra (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of ozone and oxygen reactions with the surface of metallic materials. Ozone undergoes spontaneous decomposition, which is, for example, influenced by increased temperature or reactions with other substances. The aim is to find out how fast heterogeneous decomposition or ozone formation takes place on different metal surfaces. The theoretical part describes the properties of ozone, possibilities of its use, generation of ozone, methods of determination of concentration and relation of ozone to solid surfaces. The experimental part examines how the ozone concentration changes depending on the reaction time at room temperature, the change in oxygen and argon flow during blowing, and the decomposition itself on the steel, copper, and aluminum surfaces. The ozone generated from the oxygen was enclosed in a metal material tube and allowed to react for a certain period of time. After this time, the ozone was blown out by various oxygen flow rates. Ozone concentration was monitored by absorption spectrometry. The dependence obtained shows that ozone concentration decreases. In further experiments, ozone was allowed to flow through the tubes for 5 min. After this time, pure oxygen was fed into the tube and ozone formed by heterogeneous surface reactions. The influence of the reaction time on the formation and disappearance of ozone on the surfaces was investigated. Finally, surface analysis was performed using a scanning electron microscope with elemental analysis.

Study of oxygen and ozone reactions on the surface of construction materials
Krzyžanková, Anežka ; Brablec,, Antonín (referee) ; Mazánková, Věra (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with the study of the reactions of the ozone and oxygen with various construction materials. Ozone as an unstable gas tends to decompose spontaneously and this process can be accelerated by reaction with other substances. The aim of this work is to determine the course of ozone's formation and its depletion in after the contact with various substances. Ozone is widely used mainly due to its disinfecting effects. Therefore, the monitoring of these reactions is beneficial for the choosing of ozonizer's material or its accessories. The theoretical part of this work describes the important properties of the ozone, the possibilities of using this gas, various methods of its generation, the influence of gas admixtures and a temperature on its generation and decomposition, the methods of determining the concentration and surface reaction. The dependence of ozone's formation on the size of the reaction space was monitored for either the silicone and Teflon material in the experimental part of the thesis. The length of the hoses was 20-50 cm and the diameter of the inner space was 6 mm for Teflon and 7,99 mm for a silicone. Furthermore, other experiments were performed for the silicone material, where the formation of the ozone was monitored while the oxygen and argon were being used as working gases. The formation and the depletion of the ozone depending on the changes of reaction time were investigated in the third series of experiments. We worked with a ceramic material with two different inner diameters and also with a brass and a stainless steel material in this experiment. The materials were constructed as the tubes of the same length of 54 cm. The ozone generated from the oxygen was enclosed into the reaction tube and the depletion was monitored. The last experiment was focused on the monitoring of the course of ozone's formation in a quartz cuvette influenced by the reaction time and the composition of the working gas. The amount of generated ozone was determined by absorption spectrometry in the all studied cases. The ozone flowing through the system was adsorbed by the surface of the material during the discharge. A mixture of gases (the adsorbed ozone, the oxygen and the argon in various ratios) was present in the sealed reaction space. The Ozone was formed on the surface of the material. The adsorbed ozone decomposed into a molecular and an atomic oxygen. The atomic oxygen reacted with the oxygen molecule occurring in the reaction space. The reaction time leading to the biggest obtained concentration of generated ozone was determined by the experimental data. For most of the materials, the reaction time was about 6 minutes.
