Studies of the Navy-ARPA Chemical Laser (NACL) Exhaust.

Abstract

Methods have been developed at NRL to sample the NACL exhaust. These methods include particulate, fluoride, and on-line mass spectrometric analysis. The only toxic gases detected were HF and DF. Their concentration in the final exhaust varied between 500 and 10,000 ppm. The particulate matter consisted of iron fluoride and iron oxide. Ten to fifteen percent of the fluorides and 85% of the particulate matter are removed by the pumps. (Author)
