Abstract The silent discharge reactor is characterised by a large number of randomly distributed discrete primary reaction zones (PRZ). These are transient in nature. Primary electron‐molecule collisions take place here with subsequent quenching of the atom‐molecule or free radical‐molecule processes. A model of a differential batch ozonizer has been proposed to study the influence of various forms of current pulse train, and the chemical activity of dielectric surface. The effect of multiple exposure of the reaction products to a series of electron avalanches has been evaluated. Finally the effects of temperature field and electron concentration within the electron avalanches have been studied.
