Industrial ozone generation uses a special high pressure low temperature electrical discharge: the dielectric-barrier discharge or silent dischange. The filamentary structure of htis discharge and the properties of individual microdischarges are discussed. The main reaction paths for the excited atomic and molecular species in oxygen and air are identified. Posibilities of obtainign high power densities, high ozone generating efficiencies or high ozoen concentratiosn are discussed.
