<title>Investigation of various types of singlet-oxygen generators</title>

Abstract

By the means of combined calorimetric and luminescence method were investigated chemical singlet oxygen gas generators in which alkaline peroxide solution is replaced by solid peroxihydrate compounds; the operating principle of the generators is based on the interaction of powder peroxihydrates and gaseous chlorine or liquid chiorinecontaining reagents.The optimal composition of synthetized solid compounds allows hydrogen peroxide to be transformed into singlet oxygen with efficiency up to 100%.The usage of working solids in comparison with liquid ones has a number of advantages related to simplicity and safety in operation of such gas generators, significant consumption characteristic improvement and overall dimensions reduction, four times increase in singlet oxygen yield per unit weight of working components and water steam content minimizing in gas stream at the gas generator exit.
