Preliminary studies of atomic iodine generation via nitrogen trichloride

摘要

A novel concept of the chemical production of atomic iodine aimed for application in chemical oxygen-iodine laser was proposed. The method is based on nitrogen trichloride spraying auto-decomposition to generate chlorine atoms which subsequently react with iodine donors. Preliminary experimental and computational studies for the reaction system were explored. The experimental results show efficient generations of excited atomic iodine and computational results reveal that a large degree of atomic iodine can be generated via the reaction system including nitrogen trichloride combustion effluents and iodine donors.
