A corona discharge reactor is for use in processing materials in or carried by a gaseous phase. A plurality of cylindrical individual reactor chambers is provided in an array. The reactor chambers are electrically matched with each other and pulses of electrical energy are supplied under sequential control to each of the individual reactor chambers.
An ozone generation cell has a first conductor generally having a line geometry and a second conductor having a first groove formed in a surface thereof, and having first and second flanks on opposite sides of the first groove. The second conductor and the first groove are arranged such that the first groove follows the first conductor in parallel spaced-apart relation. The ozone generation cell also has a first dielectric having a first passage-defining portion positioned between the first conductor and the first groove. The first dielectric has first and second side portions on opposite sides of the passage-defining portion that are generally parallel to the first and second flanks respectively. The first passage-defining portion is spaced-apart from only one of the first conductor and the first groove to form a first fluid passageway defined in part by the first passage-defining portion.
