Method of reducing the destruction of ozone in the earth's stratosphere by the removal of chlorine, chlorine monoxide radicals, and catalytic aerosols

摘要

By reaction of Cl and ClO radicals with alkaline cations, such as K2O2, Na2O2, CaO, CaO . MgO, Ca(OH)2, CaCO3, (Ca Mg) (CO3)3, Na2CO3, NaHCO3 and NaHCO3 . Na2CO3 . 2 H2O, these radicals are either bound in ultraviolet radiation stable crystalline inorganic lattices or in high stability alkaline salt solutions. Since most of these salts are hygroscopic, they are able to pick up water vapor from the atmosphere, increase in size, and fall through the stratosphere and troposphere resulting in a faster removal rate than would otherwise occur.
