Investigation of a jet generator of O2(1Δ)

A jet system was used to generate singlet oxygen at a pressure 16 Torr and the concentration of the desired product was at least 60%. The effective probability of trapping of chlorine molecules in a KOH–H2O2–H2O solution decreased on increase in the concentration of KOH and was within the range 10 − 3–10 − 2. The main factor limiting an increase in the O2(1Δ) pressure in such a jet generator was exhaustion of HO2− on the solution surface.
