Abstract
Abstract A PROCESS FOR CHEMICAL CONVERSION OF A PROCESS GAS INTO A DESIRED PRODUCT GAS CHARACTERIZED BY INTRODUCING A PROCESS GAS AT A VERY HIGH VELOCITY BETWEEN A PAIR OF LONGITUDINALLY SPACED ANNULAR ELECTRODES, ELONGATING AN ARC BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES AND INCREASING THE TURBULENCE WITHIN THE ELECTRODES FORMING AN ARC CHAMBER SO THAT THE RATE OF RECOMBINATION OF THE ATOMS, MOLECULES, AND FREE RADICALS OF THE DISASSOCIATED PROCESS GAS IS INCREASED BY CHEMICAL RECOMBINATION OCCURRING AT A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL GAS, THE ARC VOLTAGE EXCEEDS THE ELONGATED TO A LENGTH WHERE THE ARC VOTAGE EXCEEDS THE BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES SO THAT THE GAP BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES BREAKS DOWN, THE ARC IS TRANSFERRED TO THE GAP, AND THE PROCESS OF GAP BREAKDOWN AND ARC ELONGATION IS REPEATED CYCLICALLY.
