SETT FOR GENOMFORANDE AV KORONAREAKTIONER

摘要

CORONA REACTION METHOD Corona discharge reactions are efficiently conducted by passing a reactant gas through a corona discharge gap in which pulsed electrical energy is dissipated to accelerate electrons to a productive energy level, and eliminating gas ions from the gap to minimize non-productive energizing of the ions prior to additional corona discharge In one preferred practice of the process a selective ion neutralization potential is applied to eliminate the non-productive gas ions between corona pulses. In other preferred practices, a reactant gas which is exposed to corona is removed from the corona zone after limited exposure to corona to permit recombination of the heavy gas ions prior to additional exposure to corona and/or an ion neutralizing component is added to the reactant gas stream.
