An apparatus for removing contaminants from air, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and sulphur dioxide. In one of the chambers of a multi-chambered enclosure, polluted inlet air is exposed to one or more first light sources emitting light at wavelengths less than or equal to 242.3 nm to cause dissociation of contaminant molecules, creating ozone plus remaining atoms.

An apparatus for efficiently generating ozone in dry air or in oxygen at about 1 bar pressure. The apparatus generates a uniform cold plasma having no arcs or localized discharges that fills the entire generator volume. Electrical pulses having a peak voltage of approximately 20 kV, pulse width of approximately 20-ns FWHM, and repetition rate of approximately 10 kHz drive the generator.

Dimensions of the generator are adjusted to optimize production of ozone by tailoring the distribution function of the electrons in the cold plasma. Overall efficiency of the generator approaches 50% of the theoretical quantum efficiency of generating ozone.

By effectively inhibiting ozone escape from ozonized water, a livestock sterilizing method which does not have the possibility of having an adverse effect on man and livestock is provided. Sterilizing of livestock is performed by including an ozonized water producing step of producing ozonized water with a particle size R of a contained ozone bubble satisfying 0<R<50 nm and an ozone concentration of 3 ppm to 20 ppm by a gas-liquid mixing method, and a step of sterilizing livestock by using the ozonized water produced in the ozonized water producing step. Since the particle size R is 0<R<50 nm, the ozone bubbles hardly receive buoyancy of the ozonized water. Therefore, the ozone bubbles do not rise to the water level, but stay in the ozonized water. As a result, ozone escape is effectively inhibited.

An oxygen containing gas is injected at a pressure in the range of about two (2) to about five (5) atmospheres or more into an ultraviolet transmissive sleeve surrounding an ultraviolet lamp to produce a high concentration of ozone. Simultaneously, the ultraviolet lamp irradiates water to be purified disposed in a container surrounding the sleeve. The ozone enriched gas is entrained into the water flowing into the container resulting in an oxidative reaction with any organic matter present and coming into contact with the ozone. Alternatively, the ozone may be entrained in water in a second container downstream of the container wherein the water has been irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. In a further variant, the ozone may be entrained in water in a container upstream of the container wherein the water has been irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. In a yet further variant, the ozone may be entrained in one or more containers upstream and prior to irradiation of the water with ultraviolet radiation in the downstream most container. The ozone may be extracted from the ozonated water prior to discharge if the oxidative effect of the ozone is not desired for the intended end use. To enhance ozone production a predetermined pressure is maintained within the sleeve. To prevent damage to sleeve in the event of a drop in pressure of the water surrounding the sleeve, a further differential pressure regulator may be used to relieve the pressure within the sleeve by discharging ozonated gas from within the sleeve. By use of specifically configured end caps for the sleeve, certain existing water purification systems may be converted to embody the present invention.
