What is Ozone?
Molecular weight: 48 g/mol
Density @ 1013 mbar, 0°C: 2,14 kg/m³
Max. limit for ambient level: 0,1 ppm
0,2 mg/m³air
Odor threshold: 0,01 ppm
Redox potential: 2,07 V
Comparison of oxidants:
- Oxygen (mol.) 1,23 V
- Chlorinedioxide 1,27 V
- Chlorine 1,36 V
- Hypochlorite 1,49 V
- Ozone 2,07 V
- OH radical 2,80 V
Blue, pungent and strong smelling gas

OZONE [greek = smelling]
Strongest oxidant, effective disinfectant ! Decomposition - generation on site only !

How does Ozone Work?
Ozone oxidation follows two pathways: – Direct - Ozone contacting microorganism or contaminant – Indirect - Ozone disintegrates into short living, stronger, hydroxyl radicals
Both reactions occur simultaneously
Since Chlorine is still a widely used and known chemical for oxidation and disinfection, Ozone is often compared to Chlorine
Ozone acts 3000 times faster than chlorine as a bactericide for Disinfection of E-coli
6
Disinfection Mechanism Chlorine versus Ozone Bacterium structure
Chlorine must diffuse through cell wall to inactivate organism
Ozone lysis, rupture cell wall on contact to inactivate organism
DNA Nucleic acid
Cell wall
