Mechanism-analysis and Simulation of the Storage and Removal of Ozone to level Electric Power Loads

Abstract

We found that it is possible to detach ozone from silica gel under the same temperature and same pressure conditions which silica gel adsorbed ozone. The extra energy, which is required for removing ozone, is unnecessary. Only the oxygen-purging step is required We changed the temperature of the silica gel and measured the differences in the amount of stored ozone. The amount of adsorption became linear. It followed the expression of van't Hoff. We made a computer program to simulate the phenomenon of the storage and removal. The results of the program demonstrated this phenomenon. We propose to use this method as a storage method for ozone. The ozone storage system, according to this principle, is compact and inexpensive to construct.In this system, we calculated the power consumption of a sewage plant, which processes 100, 000 tons of wastewater per day. The generation ability of the ozonizer can be decreased approximately 40 percent by introducing the ozone storage unit. The storing temperature is minus 17 degrees Celsius constant, in this result the cost of storage and removal equipment is not expensive.From these results, it is clarified that this method is effective to power load leveling.
