Abstract

A singlet delta aerosol generator 10 includes a reaction chamber 24 downstream from a supersonic nozzle section 18. A mixture of gaseous chlorine and an inert diluent gas is reacted with liquid basic hydrogen peroxide (BHP) in reaction chamber 24 to form a flow of liquid droplets and gaseous singlet delta oxygen. Separating means, including a deflecting body 30, located within a downstream end of the reaction chamber 24, separates the flow of liquid droplets and gaseous singlet delta oxygen into a primary flow and a secondary flow. The primary flow contains a major amount of the gaseous singlet delta oxygen and a minor amount of the liquid droplets; the secondary flow contains the remainder of the gaseous singlet delta oxygen and of liquid droplets.
