Development of a Portable Binary Chlorine Dioxide Generator for Decontamination
Abstract
We have carried out research and development on a concept that can be used to produce a portable ClO2 generator that requires no power source. Our results indicate that this technology can be engineered readily to provide a wide range of desirable ClO2 concentrations, precursor formulations, and flow rates. The chemistry and chemical kinetics in our system are now well understood at a level that can allow initial prediction of performance under various conditions. The concepts have been demonstrated successfully with prototype devices and materials. The major goals of this work were to optimize the chemistry, develop formulations with additives, and ultimately choose the best candidates for production of a device.
