Investigation of a jet generator of O2(1Δ)

A jet system was used to generate singlet oxygen at a pressure 16 Torr and the concentration of the desired product was at least 60%. The effective probability of trapping of chlorine molecules in a KOH–H₂O₂–H₂O solution decreased on increase in the concentration of KOH and was within the range 10 ^– 3–10 ^– 2. The main factor limiting an increase in the O₂(¹Δ) pressure in such a jet generator was exhaustion of HO₂^– on the solution surface.
