A Singlet Oxygen Generator with Rapid Separation Process

Abstract

Singlet oxygen generator is the heart of chemical oxygen iodine lasers and has been the focus of research for many years. In this paper, a novel singlet oxygen generator with rapid separation technology is briefly put forward. To ensure short residence time, the design of reaction and separation processes happening simultaneously in through-flow reactors is dumpy shaped. By means of computational fluid dynamics, the calculations indicate that the residence time of O2(1Δ) in the new structure is about 15ms and the new SOG has excellent anti-entrainment and defoaming separation performance. The analytical results show the new structure is a feasible and promising technology in singlet oxygen generation cases.
