O2 (1 Delta)-I Atom Kinetic Studies.

Abstract

A discharge flow system has been used to refine kinetic rate measurements for the O2(1 sub delta) + I energy-pooling process and for the iodine-catalyzed removal of O2(1 sub delta). Particular attention was given the effects of I2-carrier gas (Ar) on the emission intensity of O2(1 sub delta) and O2(1 sub sigma). A heated I2 saturator and a saturator bypass technique were developed to minimize such effects. The data reported here indicate that processes proportional to (O2(I sub delta)) to the 2nd power are important at (O2(1 sub delta)) and (I) densities, which are appropriate for a cw O2(1 sub delta)-I atom transfer laser.
