Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassB01J 019/08AbstractAn irradiator apparatus has a plurality of gamma radiation sources mounted in a housing and includes an ozone generator located in the housing and using the irradiator gamma radiation sources to generate the ozone. A plurality of gamma radiation sources are mounted in the irradiator housing with a gas passageway formed around each source for irradiating air or oxygen passing therearound from a gas input through the housing. A fluid passageway is located inside the irradiator housing and adjacent the plurality of gamma radiation sources for irradiating a liquid passing therethrough. The fluid passageway is connected between a liquid input opening and a liquid output opening through the irradiator housing. The gas passageways connect the ozone generator tubes to the fluid passageway for feeding ozone into the liquid being irradiated so that the irradiator generates ozone and feeds the ozone into the fluid being irradiated. The irradiator gamma radiation sources are used for generating the ozone in the ozone generator as well as irradiating the fluid passing through the irradiator.Field of SearchWith means applying electromagnetic wave energy or corpuscular radiation to reactants for initiating or perfecting chemical reactionOzonizers With preparatory or product-treating means With subsequent use means Cylindrical electrode Electrostatic field or electrical discharge PLASMA OR ION GENERATION MEANS Processes of treating materials by wave energy Ozone Utilizing electrical or wave energy (directly applied to liquid or material being treated) Utilizing ozone | |
