Can u tell the ways in which breaking up of Ozone can be stopped
2O ---- > 3O 3 2Can u tell the name of any negative catalyst which can help?

No, but can you tell us what part of the Ozone you are from?

No. Just let ozone sit there, and it turns to plain ol' molecular oxygen. I suppose you could freeze it, maybe in an "incubator". ;-)
I can't even imagine what a "negative catalyst" could possibly be.
A good way to _make_ ozone, however, is to hit some O2 with some UV photons. It happens all of the time in the stratosphere, or where there's arc welding going on.
Good Luck! Rich

Read 'stabilizer'. ISTR that there is something that will stabilize ozone, but I can't remember what.

I remember that activated carbon is a catalyst for the reaction, but as for an inhibitor, i can't seem to think of one at the moment :)

Actually
perhaps it was to introduce NO2??
I seem to remember that the ClO dimer mechanism accounts for 90%+ of the ozone loss and by introducing NO2 into the stratosphere, this could be stabilized?
as ClO + NO2 + M --> ClONO2 + M
&Cl + NO2 + M --> ClNO2 + M
