Abstract
The invention relates to a process for initiating a reaction for the manufacture of synthetic hydrochloric acid, wherein two reactive gaseous chamical compounds, chlorine and hydrogen, are brought together. The molecules of at least one of said compounds are then excited by projection of a laser ray onto this reactive compound, wherein the laser ray is directed onto the zone where the two reactive compounds are brought together.

A process for initiating a self-promoting reaction for the manufacture of synthetic hydrochloric acid, comprising:
- (a) supplying molecules of reactive chlorine gas and hydrogen gas to a zone of mixture where said reactive gases are brought together to form a homogeneous mixture, said chlorine molecules having an absorption band frequency and an absorption band wavelength;
- and
- (b) exciting said chlorine molecules by directing a laser pulse onto said zone of mixture, thereby initiating the self-promoting reaction for the manufacture of synthetic hydrochloric acid.
A process for initiating a self-promoting reaction for the manufacture of synthetic hydrochloric acid, comprising:
- (a) supplying molecules of reactive chlorine gas and hydrogen gas to a zone of mixture where said reactive gases are brought together to form a homogeneous mixture, said chlorine molecules having an absorption band frequency and an absorption band wavelength;
- and
- (b) projecting a laser pulse onto said zone of mixture, said laser pulse having a wavelength within 15% of the absorption band wavelength of said chlorine molecules, thereby exciting said chlorine molecules and initiating the self-promoting reaction for the manufacture of synthetic hydrochloric acid.
A process for initiating a self-promoting reaction for the manufacture of synthetic hydrochloric acid, comprising:
- (a) supplying molecules of reactive chlorine gas and hydrogen gas to a zone of mixture where said reactive gases are brought together to form a homogeneous mixture, said chlorine molecules having an absorption band frequency and an absorption band wavelength;
- and
- (b) projecting a laser pulse onto said zone of mixture, said laser pulse having a frequency corresponding to said frequency of the absorption band of said chlorine molecules, thereby exciting said chlorine molecules and initiating the self-promoting reaction for the manufacture of synthetic hydrochloric acid.
