Wick systems for complexed gas technology

摘要

The invention relates to an improvement in apparatus and process for effecting storage and delivery of a gas having Lewis acidity or Lewis basicity. The storage and delivery apparatus 10, 40, 50 is comprised of a storage and dispensing vessel 12 containing a medium 30, 42, 56 capable of storing a gas and permitting delivery of the gas stored in the medium 30, 42, 56 from the vessel 12, the apparatus 10, 40, 50 comprising in the vessel 12:
(a) a liquid 14 having Lewis acidity or basicity;
(b) a gas/liquid complex between either the gas having Lewis acidity with the liquid having Lewis basicity or the gas having Lewis basicity with the liquid having Lewis acidity, said complex being in a reversible reacted state ;
(c) a non-reactive wick medium 30, 40, 50 holding and dispersing the liquid 14 and the gas/liquid complex therein.
