History of Ozone Research


As early as the 19th century, people recognized the strong oxidizing effect of ozone and found that ozone has an oxidizing effect on substances such as wood, straw, starch, plant pigments, natural rubber, fats, animal and vegetable oils, and alcohol. In 1868, de Gebeth obtained the first patent for ozone application technology, which used ozone to oxidize coal tar mixtures into products suitable for use in coatings and paints. In 1873, Europe put ozone into use in sugar refining and flax bleaching. For over a hundred years, the application of ozone has penetrated into multiple fields and made significant contributions to the development of human production technology. Ozone applications are divided into four fields according to their uses: water quality treatment, chemical oxidation, food processing and preservation, and medical treatment. The development of application research equipment in each field has reached a considerable level. The world has formed an independent ozone technology industry and sector, with the International Ozone Association (IOA) established in 1973 located in Canada. The association holds an international conference every two years to exchange papers and reports on the development of ozone technology in various countries. Developed countries have generally established IOA regional organizations for academic exchanges.

After World War II, ozone application technology made significant progress internationally. Firstly, in 1902, Paderborn, Germany established the first large-scale water treatment plant using ozone to treat water quality, pioneering the use of ozone in water treatment. Nowadays, there are thousands of ozone treatment plants in countries such as Europe, America, Japan, and Canada that have reached a widespread level of ozone application. Almost all mineral water and purified water manufacturers are equipped with ozone devices. In the early 1970s, the United States began using ozone to treat domestic sewage, mainly for sterilization, disinfection, removal of pollutants, decolorization, and other purposes to meet emission standards. Japan treats wastewater with ozone in water scarce areas and uses it as reclaimed water. In recent years, countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, and France have established large-scale ozone wastewater treatment plants. Secondly, industrial application of ozone has become very common, mainly used in the chemical, petroleum, papermaking, textile and pharmaceutical, and spice industries. The application of ozone in the food industry is more widespread. In 1904, Europe used ozone to preserve food such as milk, meat products, cheese, and protein. In the late 1930s, 80% of refrigerated egg storage facilities in the United States were equipped with ozone generators. After World War II, Europe, America, and Japan applied ozone to various aspects of food, fruit, and vegetable preservation, including storage, manufacturing, and transportation. In terms of medical treatment, Japan used ozone for body therapy during World War II, while Russia used it for strong air (ozone oxidizing air) sports applications.

At present,Ozone therapy deviceInternationally, there are various applications in the medical field, such as air disinfection in wards and operating rooms, disinfection of medical instruments using ozone water, treatment of dental diseases (oral surgery and maintaining oral sterility) using ozone, treatment of cancer using a combination of ozone and radiation therapy, treatment of women's diseases with drinking ozone water, and injection of ozone gas for the treatment of fistulas, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, etc. In terms of health, it is popular in Japan and Taiwan to inhale strong air (air containing low concentrations of ozone) to strengthen the body, and to shower the body with ozonated water to kill bacteria and enhance beauty. The popular high-tech beauty nowadays is actually the application of ozone.
