Why can't we create ozone in laboratories?

Question

What I thought was that we could create a barrier of ozone around each individual and trap oxygen and carbondioxide inside the barrier. If we hold a plant inside the barrier, then the oxygen and carbondioxide mollecules would go in a constant cycle.

Therefore, we can perfectly live even out of the Earth!

Answer 1

Who said we cant?
by passing a flow of purified oxygen, through a catalytic voltaic arch (500-600,000 volts) we can ovtain los and lots of ozone.......
However, the ozone as a molecule, is not stable, and is heavier than air, that is why, it tends to stay on the surface of the earth,,,
Are you referring to the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere???
That is formed by the constant UV rays from the sun, and by the bombardment of such rays, the unstable ozone (and back ot oxygen) compound is formed...althouh O3 in UPPER ATMOSPHERE is short lived, it acts as a barrier agains ultraviolet sun rays, however, the one we can shyntetize in the lab, as the normal one, will have to be carried and dispersed in the stratosphere, where it may or mat NOT stay, first because its heavier than air, and depending on temperature, and concentration of previous O3.....very expensive (absolutely unpayable) way to send a unstable compound to the upper layers.....)...It wouldn be a practical way ro use ozone,..
Producing ozone ( its not difficult al all), and at the end it will be distroyed by fluorate gas produtcs, other reducing hydrocarbons, or small amounts of free hydrogen, to form water molecules....not worth it,,

Answer 2

Yes, you can.

Ozone (O3) is a triatomic molecule. Ground-level ozone is an air pollutant with harmful effects on the respiratory systems of animals. On the other hand, ozone in the upper atmosphere protects living organisms by preventing damaging ultraviolet light from reaching the Earth's surface

good luck

Answer 3

We can create ozone, which will be chemically and physically the same stuff that is created higher in the atmosphere by ultraviolet light.

Unfortunately, the ozone near the earth's surface is too close to us. Ozone is chemically reactive stuff that damages organic molecules and living tissues. Better the ozone be high above us where it can't attack earth's organisms while it is screening us from ultraviolet rays that can also harm us.

Answer 4

Ozone is highly toxic and will rapidly dissipate. You'd need about a acre of plants to supply you oxygen needs. That was the basic idea of Biosphere 2 (which failed).
