The industrial uses of OZONE
are numerous and varied.
PULP AND PAPER
Bleaching by use of OZONE distinctly improves the quality of paper
pulp.
CHEMISTRY
The use of OZONE to eliminate phenols from effluents from the
petroleum, chemical and metallurgical industries have increased
greatly with industrialists becoming more concerned about protection
of environment.Oxidizing of cyanides by OZONE is especially effective
in eliminating dangerous compounds.
OZONE enables aliphatic acids to be prepared from corresponding
olefins.
Ozonolysis of oleic acid is widely used in manufacture of lubricants
for the aircraft industry, plasticizers and polymer modifiers.
TEXTILES
OZONE is used to manufacture intermediaries for synthetic fibers
from cyclical and derived olefins.
PHARMACEUTICAL
OZONE is used in organic synthesis of pharmaceutical and agricultural
and veterinary product intermediaries.
COSMETICS
OZONE is used to manufacture Piperonal in perfumes.
AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD INDUSTRY
OZONE is a biocidal agent and is used in high temperature sterilization
techniques (vacuum pack procedures).
ELECTRONICS
OZONE generates free radicals with a very short lifespan and these
enable problems of cleanliness and purity of Oxygen to be solved
(in the manufacture of VLSI and ULSI).
CERAMICS
OZONE is used in bleaching Kaolin for the manufacture of porcelain,
glasses and fine china.
CATALYTIC OZONIZING
The combination of OZONE / Hydrogen Peroxide reinforces the
radical type oxidation process. Indirect oxidizing is easy to
use in industrial environments, and is all the easier when plants
are already fitted out with stocks of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Combined units of OZONE / Hydrogen Peroxide are already in service
for the elimination of Pesticides in Water networks.
The combination of OZONE with Ultra-Violet rays eliminates micro-pollutants.
OZONE catalytic oxidizing and Titanium dioxide experiments are
underway.
DETOXIFICATION / DECOLORATION / POLLUTION CONTROL
OZONE provides pollution control over industrial effluents
containing toxic compounds, eg. OZONE is used in the textile industry
for decoloration.
