Abstract

The chlorine utilization efficiency and singlet oxygen concentration are determined as functions of the chlorine flow rate, the base concentration, and the flow rate and temperature of basic hydrogen peroxide in a singlet oxygen generator based on the reaction of chlorine with filament-guided descending basic hydrogen peroxide jets. The effluent gas, without aerosol entrainment, contains about 10% residual chlorine and more than 60% singlet oxygen.
