The results of parametric tests of a centrifugal bubble
singlet-oxygen generator based on the reaction of chlorine with an
alkaline hydrogen peroxide solution have been given. The utilization
of chlorine grows with bubble-layer height, whereas the relative content
of O2(1
) remains constant. Growth in centrifugal acceleration leads to a more efficient
utilization of chlorine. A specific oxygen output of more than 1 mmole·cm-2·sec-1
from the bubble layer for a degree of chlorine utilization of
95%
and a singlet-oxygen yield of more than 50% has been attained.
It has been shown that a centrifugal bubble singlet-oxygen generator is
an efficient energy source for an oxygen-iodine laser.
