Abstract
Devices suitable for use in an advanced oxidation method for organic and inorganic pollutants deploying OH* radicals and ozone is disclosed. Optionally, a first discharge device, providing OH* radicals and second discharge device providing ozone, are combined to provide desirable chemical and biocidal characteristics. Further, efficient mixing systems for transferring the radicals to the target fluid are disclosed.
Claims16
An advanced oxidation assembly for generating free radicals comprising:
- a first discharge device configured to be capable of generating free radicals;
- a second discharge device configured to be capable of generating free radicals;
- and
- a convergent-divergent nozzle assembly comprising a convergent nozzle that is fluidly coupled to a divergent nozzle at a throat, wherein
- a reactor exit of the first discharge device and a reactor exit of the second discharge device are fluidly coupled to the convergent-divergent nozzle assembly at the throat of the convergent- divergent nozzle assembly, and
- wherein the nozzle assembly is configured such that when fluid passes from the convergent nozzle to the divergent nozzle a suction pressure is created at the throat of the convergent-divergent nozzle assembly that draws fluid from the reactor exit of the first discharge device and the reactor exit of the second discharge device.
