<p>Oxidizing apparatus suitable for continuous production of ozone from air or an oxygen containing gas pumped into a body of water for purifying the water. The oxidizing apparatus (10) includes a generating means (17) for generating a high-voltage, a confining means (13) for confining a flow of gas and a discharge electrode (14) associated with the confining means (13) and connected to the generating means (17) to develop an ozone producing electric discharge within the confining means (13). The electric discharge is either a corona discharge, a spark discharge or a combination thereof. The discharge electrode (14) is rod like and the discharge end of the rod-like electrode is formed to provide a discharge apex (15), with the apex being either rounded or pointed to form the apex. A plurality of such rod-like electrodes (31) may be employed as the discharge electrode (30).</p> |
