GAS SEPARATING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: gas separating and scrubbing apparatus; various industries; ecological gas scrubbing processes. SUBSTANCE: proposed apparatus has cylindrical housing with starting gas inlet branch pipe and separation product outlet branch pipe separated by cylindrical perforated partition made from dielectric material. Corona-forming electrode is located along axis of housing and is connected to high-voltage lead of DC source. Second lead of this source is connected to housing of apparatus or is grounded. Apparatus is additionally provided with resonator including laser radiator and mirror reflector. Corona-forming electrode is made in form of porous tube whose lower portion is connected with starting gas inlet branch pipe and upper portion holds mirror reflector. Laser radiator used for delivery of monochromatic annular beam along corona-forming electrode is mounted in lower portion of housing axisymmetrically relative to corona-forming electrode. EFFECT: enhanced selectivity of separation, high degree of cleaning and rate of separation of mixture of gases or vapor-and-air mixtures into components and cleaning of air or flue gases from toxic admixtures due to resonance oscillations of molecules of one of components of gas mixture in monochromatic laser beam. 1 dwg
