Re: [Vo]:UEE and one-watt flames

[R C Macaulay]

Howdy Jones,
As usual, my interest is in the disinfection properties of chlorine gas and 
some of the strange anomalies resulting in the chemistry of inducting CL2 
gas into wastewater.  Hmmm... some of this wastewater contains high CO2  and 
nitrogen content even after the treatment process.
The CL2 gas  released into the treated wastewater  is distributed as gas at 
a shear velocity of 105 f/p/s at the periphery of the rotating member. The 
CL2 is "assumed" to transition from chlorine to a type of hydrochlorous acid 
and then to a residual of chlorine having high THM's. At certain wastewater 
treatment plants (TRA at Dallas for example) there is a phenominal "kill 
rate" of bacteria that remains unexplanable.. perhaps due to the mixing 
chamber configuration whereas the gas transitions occur in under 3 seconds.
I have often considered the relationship of the results of this work to many 
of the electro-chem subjects posted on Vortex.

The fact that the flame could be higher in Na ions but
possibly less high in Cl is curious, since Cl is a gas
and naturally you would expect more of it in such a
situation, due to the volatility. That is, if the
ionic bond of salt is being broken in the liquid, due
to RF resonance.

What happens to the Cl? Does it immediately form
hydrochloric acid and stay put? If so, that could part
of the unusual dynamics of this experiment, and
another reason why Dr Roy was excited by the results.
