Abstract

An ozone supplier 11 of the present invention includes a mixer 1 which dissolves an oxygen-ozone mixed gas in a fluorine-based solvent to produce a mixed solution, an undissolved gas removing device 2 which removes an undissolved gas from the mixed solution, and a deaerator 3 which extracts an ozone-containing gas, which is dissolved in the mixed solution subjected to removal of the undissolved gas, from the mixed solution.

Claims

1. An ozone supplier comprising:

a mixer which dissolves an oxygen-ozone mixed gas in a fluorine-based solvent to produce a mixed solution,

an undissolved gas removing device which removes an undissolved gas from the mixed solution, and

a deaerator which extracts an ozone-containing gas, which is dissolved in the mixed solution subjected to removal of the undissolved gas, from the mixed solution.

2. The ozone supplier according to claim 1, further comprising a solvent component removing device which removes the fluorine-based solvent from the ozone-containing gas.

3. The ozone supplier according to claim 1, wherein a diluter, which supplies an inert gas to the mixed solution subjected to the removal of the undissolved gas to be diluted, is provided between the undissolved gas removing device and the deaerator.

4. The ozone supplier according to claim 1, further comprising:

a pressure controller which controls a pressure when the oxygen-ozone mixed gas is dissolved in the fluorine-based solvent to produce the mixed solution, and

a pressure controller which controls a pressure when the ozone-containing gas is extracted from the mixed solution.

5. The ozone supplier according to claim 1, further comprising:

a temperature controller which controls a temperature when the oxygen-ozone mixed gas is dissolved in the fluorine-based solvent to produce a mixed solution, and

a temperature controller which controls a temperature when the ozone-containing gas is extracted from the mixed solution.

6. The ozone supplier according to claim 1, wherein the deaerator comprises a bubbling structure which uses an inert gas to bubble the mixed solvent subjected to the removal of the undissolved gas, and an inert gas supplier which supplies the inert gas to the bubbling structure.

7. The ozone supplier according to claim 1, wherein a circulating line is provided between the deaerator and the mixer.

8. A multi-stage type ozone supplier comprising one or more kinds of ozone suppliers according to claim 1 in a plurality of stages in series.

9. The ozone supplier according to claim 1, wherein the fluorine-based solvent is fluorocarbons, fluoroketones, fluoroethers or mixtures thereof.

10. An ozone supplying method comprising:

dissolving an oxygen-ozone mixed gas in a fluorine-based solvent to produce a mixed solution,

removing an excess gas which remains undissolved in the fluorine-based solvent, and

deaerating an ozone-containing gas dissolved in a liquid component in the mixed solution subjected to removal of the excess gas.

11. An ozone supplying method comprising:

dissolving an oxygen-ozone mixed gas in a fluorine-based solvent under a pressure to produce a mixed solution,

removing an excess gas which remains undissolved in the fluorine-based solvent, and

deaerating an ozone-containing gas dissolved in a liquid component by depressurizing the mixed solution subjected to removal of the excess gas.

12. An ozone supplying method comprising:

dissolving an oxygen-ozone mixed gas in a fluorine-based solvent under cooling to produce a mixed solution,

removing an excess gas which remains undissolved in the fluorine-based solvent, and

deaerating the ozone-containing gas dissolved in a liquid component by heating the mixed solution subjected to removal of the excess gas.
