ION PRODUCTION AND CONCENTRATION IN FLAMES

Abstract

An improved method for the measurement of flame conductivity is described. It takes into account the perturbing side effects which interfere in flame conductimetry measurements. Methaneoxygen flames (with or without additives) were investigated. A comparative study is presented between ion concentration and the intensity of the different band spectra which are emitted in the same flames. A correlation between the OH* emission and the amount of ions was experimentally established. New improved equipment for ion extraction and identification in flames will make possibl the investigation of any kind of flame burning at atmospheric pressure.
