Reactor Study of Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DDBD) Plasma for Ozonation Olive Oil

Abstract

Ozone gas is a gas consisting of three oxygen molecules and is a disinfecting agent. Olive oil is oozed using ozone gas generated by a Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DDBD) plasma reactor. DDBD reactors are generated with a voltage of 3.75 kV at a frequency of 50 Hz and a Duty Cycle (DC) of 30% at various oxygen gas flow rates 0.1, 0.3 and 0.6 L / minute. The parameters measured were dissolved ozone concentrations and dissolved ozone doses in olive oil. The results showed that the dissolved ozone concentration in olive oil was inversely proportional to the oxygen gas flow rate, while the dissolved ozone dose was directly proportional to the oxygen gas flow rate. At the flow rate of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.6 L / min of the concentration of dissolved ozone were 2398.8, 1672.4 and 1077.9 ppm, and the dissolved ozone doses were 1101.3, 2293.9 and 2964.8 mg O3/g of oil respectively.
