The principle of using ozone to deodorize toilet odors mainly lies in the strong oxidizing and bleaching properties of ozone. Ozone (O3) releases oxygen (O2) when it breaks down in the air, a process accompanied by the release of energy that activates molecules in the air, including those that create odors. When activated, the molecules undergo chemical changes that reduce or eliminate odors.

The specific chemical decomposition process can be simplified into the following steps:

1. When ozone molecules (O3) encounter odor molecules in the air, they will react with them.

2. The oxidation of ozone will destroy the chemical structure of odor molecules and break them down into harmless substances.

3. The decomposed substances are usually colorless and odorless, so they can effectively remove odors.

Chemically, this process can be expressed as:

O3 + R → O2 + R'

Among them, R represents the original odor molecules, and R' represents the harmless molecules after decomposition.

It should be noted that the decomposition effect of ozone depends on many factors, including ozone concentration, contact time, temperature, humidity, and the nature of odor molecules. Therefore, when using ozone for deodorization, the power and usage time of the ozone generator need to be adjusted according to the specific situation to ensure the best effect.

In addition, ozone itself also has a certain smell. Although this smell is different from toilet odor to most people, it may be perceived as a pungent smell at high concentrations. Therefore, when using ozone to remove odors, ensure indoor air circulation to avoid odor accumulation.
