Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A METHOD OF REACTING A LIQUID AND GASEOUS SUBSTANCES COMPRISING PROVIDING A REACTION ZONE WITH AN EMITTING ELECTRODE, AN INTERMEDIATE ELECTRODE AND A COLLECTING ELECTRODE; PASSING SAID GASEOUS SUBSTANCES TO BE REACTRED THROUGH SAID ZONE WHILE PROJECTING ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SPRAY PARTICLE OF SAID LIQUID SUBSTANCE FROM SIAD EMITTING ELECTRODE TOWARD SAID INTERMEDIATE ELECTRODE AND SAID COLLECTING ELECTRODE RESPECTIVELY; MAINTAINING SAID INTERMEDATE ELECTRODE AND COLLECING ELECTRODE AT UNIDIRECTIONAL ELECTRIC POTENTIAL DIFFERENCES RELATIVE TO EMITTING ELECTRODE POTENTIAL WHICH POTENTIAL DIFFERENCES PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE ALONG THE PATH OF SAID ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SPRAY PARTICLES, SAID UNIDIRECTIONAL POTENTIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SAID ELECTRODES BEING LIMITED TO VALUES SUCH THAT DIRECT INTERELECTRODE UNIDIRECTIONAL CURRENT DISCHARGING DOES NOT TAKE PLACE; SUBJECTING SAID GASEOUS SUBSTANCES AND ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SPRAY PARTICLES OF SAID LIQUID SUBSTANCE TO A HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELD HAVING A FREQUENCY ABOVE ABOUT 50,000 CYCLES PER SECOND; GASIFYING SAID ELECTRICALLY CHARGED SPRAY PARTICLES OF SAID LIQUID SUBSTANCES TO PRODUCE IONIZED GAS AND CONCURRENTLY CAUSING A DRIFT THROUGH SAID REACTION ZONE OF SAID ELECTRICALLY CHARGED LIQUID SPRAY PARTICLES, GAS IONS AND ELECTRICALLY CHARGED REACTION PRODUCTS TOWARDS SAID COLLECTING ELECTRODE AND WITHDRAWING THE REACTION PRODUCTS FROM SAID ZONE.
