Definition

1. Verb:

Usage

• The verb "ozonise" describes a specific chemical transformation. It is primarily used in scientific and technical contexts, such as atmospheric chemistry, industrial processes, or water treatment.
• It is a transitive verb, requiring a direct object (usually "oxygen" or "air").

Examples

• Verb:
  • The electrical equipment is designed to ozonise the air for purification purposes.
  • In the upper atmosphere, solar radiation helps to ozonise oxygen, forming the protective ozone layer.
