Conclusion
We have reported here the results of investigations of new possibilities of obtaining O2 * by a chemical method. In searches for new sources of O2 * we synthesized solid peroxide-containing substances that interact with chlorine to release the oxygen intensively.
The purpose of the investigations was a quantitative measurement of the O2 * yield from the reaction of chloride with solid peroxyhydrates of inorganic salts, and to prove the advantages of the new method of obtaining O2 * for OIL development.
We developed for this purpose a universal measurement system that makes it possible to determine, by a combined optical and calorimetric method, the content of singlet oxygen at the exit from a chemical SOG. Measurements of the singlet-oxygen yield from the reaction of chlorine with solid peroxyhydrates have shown that in this case the yield is close to 100%. Experiments performed with an alkaline solution of hydrogen peroxide and comparison of our results with data of others have demonstrated the fitness of the developed procedure and prove the reliability of the results.
