Abstract
A novel method of making chlorine dioxide is provided. The method includes the steps of combining a hypochlorite salt and trichloroisocyanuric acid reactants in solid state in an aqueous reaction medium; and mixing the reaction medium with a gaseous carrier under conditions suitable to generate chlorine dioxide. A novel apparatus for use in generating chlorine dioxide is also provided.
Claims17
A method of producing chlorine dioxide comprising:
- 1) combining a hypochlorite salt and trichloroisocyanuric acid reactants in solid state in an aqueous reaction medium to form a solution;
- and
- 2) mixing the solution with a gaseous carrier under conditions suitable to generate chlorine dioxide.
An apparatus comprising:
- an inlet adapted to receive a compressed gaseous carrier, said inlet being in communication with at least one conduit that extends into a reaction reservoir, wherein the conduit has an opening such that the gaseous carrier is fed into a solution within the reservoir, and
- at least one outlet adapted to release gas from the reaction reservoir, wherein the inlet is partitioned from the outlet to prevent admixture of the incoming gaseous carrier with the gases being released from the reservoir via the outlet.
