Ozone production device

Abstract

An object is to provide an ozone production device capable of producing ozone in an electrolysis target liquid easily without performing any laborious assembly operation and with a high efficiency. In the ozone production device, a voltage is applied between an anode and a cathode, and ozone is produced in the electrolysis target liquid by electrolysis, the anode is integrated with the cathode via a predetermined interval without separating the anode from the cathode, and an electrolytic portion is constituted. Moreover, the anode and cathode comprise water-permeability members (mesh form) capable of passing the electrolysis target liquid.
