  • Apparatus for decomposing halogenated organic compound
    Patent number: 5187344
    Abstract: A halogenated organic compound is introduced into a plasma. In the plasma state, substances are very reactive and chemical substances which are not readily decomposed such as halogenated organic compounds are decomposed in a short time. Specifically, in a high-temperature plasma exceeding 10,000.degree. C., almost all molecules are considered to dissociate into atoms. A reactive substance such as water is introduced into a plasma together with a halogenated organic compound. The decomposed halogenated organic compound is caused to react with the reactive substance, for preventing the decomposed organic compound from returning to its original state.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 1991
    Date of Patent: February 16, 1993
    Assignees: Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Toyonobu Yoshida, JEOL Ltd.
    Inventors: Koichi Mizuno, Takeshige Wakabayashi, Yutaka Koinuma, Reiji Aizawa, Satoshi Kushiyama, Satoru Kabayashi, Hideo Ohuchi, Toyonobu Yoshida, Yoshiro Kubota, Takanobu Amano, Hisashi Komaki, Shoji Hirakawa
