Theoretical study of the non-steady discharge at atmospheric pressure in PIN - plate system and its application for ozone production

Abstract

In this paper as a result of the theoretical studies and a numerical simulation we presented the following main conclusions: (i) for humid air at increasing pressure of 1.0133 10⁵ Pa until 5.0665 10⁵ Pa ozone concentrations during 2·10⁻³s become higher in 22 times. This fact we clear with structure of ozone-production reactions. In this case the harmful NOx concentrations are 2-3 order lower than ozone one; (ii) it is shown that nitrogen is useful to ozone production in the discharge; (iii) based on ion collection we cleared increasing ignition discharge voltage at growing ozone concentrations even with low ozone concentrations.
