Abstract
The invention provides a method and apparatus for generating large quantities of singlet oxygen and/or ozone at unexpectedly high efficiencies. An electron beam generated by a hollow cathode plasma discharge device (HCD) is spread by disclosed means over an electron-transmissive window past which is flowing an oxygen-containing atmosphere at a high velocity.
Claims3
A method of generating ozone, comprising the steps of:
- generating a diffuse electron beam having a dc level electron energy of between about 100 to about 180 kilovolts;
- and
- directing the electron beam into an oxygen-containing atmosphere moving at a velocity of at least about 4000 feet per minute and less than supersonic velocity.
