  • Method for producing singlet molecular oxygen
    Patent number: 4102950
    Abstract: A method and generator are provided for producing singlet molecular oxygen, O.sub.2 (.sup.1 .DELTA..sub.g). A hypohalite selected from the group consisting of BrSO.sub.3 F, BrNO.sub.3, BrOCF.sub.3, ClSO.sub.3 F, ClNO.sub.3, Cl0CF.sub.3, FSO.sub.3 F, FOCF.sub.3, and ISO.sub.3 F, is reacted with hydrogen peroxide to produce singlet molecular oxygen. A preferred embodiment of the reaction is illustrated by the following example:ClSO.sub.3 F + H.sub.2 O.sub.2 .fwdarw. O.sub.2 (.sup.1 .DELTA..sub.g) + HSO.sub.3 F + HCl.The generator for producing the singlet molecular oxygen is a reactor vessel having nozzles for introducing the chlorine fluorosulfate and hydrogen peroxide into the vessel. An outlet is provided for withdrawing the products, and the singlet molecular oxygen is separated by condensing out the other products in a condensor.
