Ozone Solubility in Water and Its Potential Health Impact

AI Thread Summary
In a discussion about saturating a 60-liter water tank with ozone at 600 ORP using an airstone, concerns were raised regarding the potential for ozone gas to diffuse into the atmosphere, particularly regarding inhalation risks. It was confirmed that if the tank is open, ozone will indeed leak out, though the extent of this leakage and its potential harm is uncertain. To manage ozone levels in the water, it was suggested to monitor the concentration and add ozone as needed, focusing on maintaining a lower limit rather than worrying about the upper limit.

Hi everyone

Let say i have a 60 liters water tank filled with tap water (no fluoride). And i keep this 60 liters of water saturated with ozone at 600 ORP for 24 hours. The saturation method is just simple airstone zone diffusing method.
so, will this ozone gas leaks(or diffuse out) out to the atmosphere from the ozone saturated water?

i am asking this because I am worried about the ozone inhaling problem.

Thank you

I assume tank is opened (otherwise you wouldn't be able to use an airstone because of the pressure buildup). If so, there will be definitely some ozone leaks. Whether they will be large enough for the ozone to be harmful is another question.
 
Hi Borek
Thank you for your reply.
Do you have any idea how to make keep the un-dissolved ozone level low in the water solutions?

Thank you
 
Not sure what your question is. In general to keep the concentration at some level you should monitor it and add ozone when the concentration goes under the lower limit. With some knowledge about dynamics of the concentration changes there is no need to monitor the upper limit.
 
Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
