Abstract
A method of producing ozone comprises heating a gas containing molecular oxygen under pressure in a first vessel to a temperature of greater than about (eg.) 2300° K to at least partially dissociate molecular oxygen into monoatomic oxygen. The monoatomic oxygen is supersonically transported from the first vessel to a second vessel at a temperature less than about (eg.) 1000° K via a convergent-divergent nozzle, where it forms ozone. Supersonically transporting the monoatomic oxygen via the convergent-divergent nozzle produces frozen flow conditions, thereby preserving the oxygen in its monoatomic state. Optionally, the monoatomic oxygen is mixed with the molecular oxygen to form ozone.
