  • Method for decomposition of chemical compounds
    Patent number: 6384292
    Abstract: An apparatus for and method of decomposing a chemical compound, which may be an environmentally undesirable material, is accomplished by impinging a flow of the chemical compound on a heated member. Various embodiments are possible, including having the member have a plurality of openings, having the member be configured to direct the flow of the chemical compound in a particular direction, and having the member be self supported on the wall of the reaction chamber.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1995
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2002
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
    Inventors: Jerry D. Cripe, Gerard T. Reed, James C. Koontz
