This master's thesis deals with the study of the reactions of the ozone and oxygen with various construction materials. Ozone as an unstable gas tends to decompose spontaneously and this process can be accelerated by reaction with other substances. The aim of this work is to determine the course of ozone's formation and its depletion in after the contact with various substances. Ozone is widely used mainly due to its disinfecting effects. Therefore, the monitoring of these reactions is beneficial for the choosing of ozonizer's material or its accessories. The theoretical part of this work describes the important properties of the ozone, the possibilities of using this gas, various methods of its generation, the influence of gas admixtures and a temperature on its generation and decomposition, the methods of determining the concentration and surface reaction. The dependence of ozone's formation on the size of the reaction space was monitored for either the silicone and Teflon material in the experimental part of the thesis. The length of the hoses was 20-50 cm and the diameter of the inner space was 6 mm for Teflon and 7,99 mm for a silicone. Furthermore, other experiments were performed for the silicone material, where the formation of the ozone was monitored while the oxygen and argon were being used as working gases. The formation and the depletion of the ozone depending on the changes of reaction time were investigated in the third series of experiments. We worked with a ceramic material with two different inner diameters and also with a brass and a stainless steel material in this experiment. The materials were constructed as the tubes of the same length of 54 cm. The ozone generated from the oxygen was enclosed into the reaction tube and the depletion was monitored. The last experiment was focused on the monitoring of the course of ozone's formation in a quartz cuvette influenced by the reaction time and the composition of the working gas. The amount of generated ozone was determined by absorption spectrometry in the all studied cases. The ozone flowing through the system was adsorbed by the surface of the material during the discharge. A mixture of gases (the adsorbed ozone, the oxygen and the argon in various ratios) was present in the sealed reaction space. The Ozone was formed on the surface of the material. The adsorbed ozone decomposed into a molecular and an atomic oxygen. The atomic oxygen reacted with the oxygen molecule occurring in the reaction space. The reaction time leading to the biggest obtained concentration of generated ozone was determined by the experimental data. For most of the materials, the reaction time was about 6 minutes.
