METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUSLY MANUFACTURING ALKALI METAL SUPEROXIDE THROUGH REACTION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND ALKALI METAL HYDOXIDE

摘要

The process of continuously producing an alkali metal superoxide comprises the reaction of an aerosol of hydrogen peroxide and an alkali metal hydroxide in an inert gas. The reacting aerosol is of the solid/gaseous type or of the liquid/gaseous type. The reaction is preferably carried out in an apparatus comprising a reaction chamber, inlet ducts for the reactants and a dry gas, and an outlet duct conducting the reacted aerosol to means for separating the resulting solid alkali metal superoxide from the gaseous phase.
