Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
THE METHOD OF REACTING LIQUID AND GASEOUS SUBSTANCES COMPRISING PROVIDING A REACTION ZONE WITH AN EMITTING ELECTRODE ARRANGEMENT, AN INTERMEDIATE ELECTRODE AND A COLLECTING ELECTRODE; PASSING SAID GASEOUS SUBSTANCES TO BE REACTED THROUGH SAID ZONE WHILE PROJECTING ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SPRAY PARTICLES OF SAID LIQUID SUBSTANCE FROM SAID EMITTING ELECTRODE ARRANGEMENT TOWARD SAID INTERMEDIATE ELECTRODE AND SAID COLLECTING ELECTRODE RESPECTIVELY; MAINTAINING SAID INTERMEDIATE ELECTRODE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCES RELATIVE TO RECTIONAL ELECTRIC POTENTIAL DIFFERENCES RELATIVE TO EMITTING ELECTRODE ARRANGEMENT POTENITAL WHICH POTENITAL DIFFERENCES PROMOTE THE ELECTRICAL CHARGING OF SAID SPRAY PARTICLES AND PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE ALONG THE PATH OF SAID ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SPRAY PARTICLES, SAID POTENTIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SAID ELECTRODES BEING LIMITED TO VALUES SUCH THAT DIRECT INTERELECTRODE DISCHARGING DOES NOT TAKE PLACE; GASIFYING SAID ELECTRICALLY CHARGED LIQUID SPRAY PARTICLES IN SPACE IN THE ABSENCE OF HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELDS BY ABSORBING HEAT FROM SAID REACTON ZONE TO PRODUCE IONIZED GAS AND TO BRING ABOUT A CHEMICAL REACTION WITH SAID GASEOUS SUBSTANCES; CONCURRENTLY CAUSING A DRIFT THROUGH SAID REACTION ZONE OF SAID ELECTRICALLY CHARGED LIQUID SPRAY PARTICLES, GAS IONS AND ELECTRICALLY CHARGE REACTION PRODUCTS TOWARDS SAID COLLECTING ELECTRODE AND WITHDRAWING THE REACTION PRODUCTS FROM SAID ZONE.
