Ozone (O3) is one of the most potent known oxidants. The extra oxygen (O2) is radical in an ozone molecule and quickly binds to each component that encounters ozone molecules. This is because of ozone’s inclination to return to its original form. Both organic and inorganic substances may be oxidized by ozone, meaning microorganisms like viruses, bacteria, and fungi are disinfected. This causes the extra oxygen radical to be released from the ozone molecule and to bind to other materials; only pure oxygen molecules remain.
As a result of the reaction mentioned above, ozone can be used for various purposes. Ozone can be used in many industries for purification and disinfection. The most significant benefit of ozone is its pure characteristic. It is eco-friendly and sustainable as it is produced by a generator onsite.
