Intensification of ozone generation through multi-criteria optimization of dielectric barrier discharge

Abstract

This habilitation thesis comprises an annotated collection of articles published in the years 2014-2023, while exploring possibilities of efficient intensification of ozone generators, oper- ating on the principles of dielectric barrier discharges through multi-criteria optimizations focused on the impact of the environment within which they originate. Top-priority accent was laid on optimizing the direction of the flow of feeding gas (air) in an ozone generator in relation to the microdischarges being generated, to the environmental impacts in which they occur, and the introduction of photocatalytic materials to their vicinity.
