Dry Media Chlorine Dioxide otherwise known as dmClo2.
The dmClO2™ device combines the utilization of membrane technology with a custom made heat-sealing procedure resulting in a defined space called the Membrane Micro Reactor (M2R™), where the reaction takes place. Within the M2R™, the conversion of sodium chlorite to chlorine dioxide is governed by the
(1) Transport phenomenon of water and/or moisture into the M2R™
(2) Dissolution rate of the ClO2 precursors
(3) Reaction kinetics of ClO2 generation
(4) Controlled released of ClO2 gas or ClO2 in solution.
The design of the M2R™ provides a defined physical space having a favorable environment for an efficient conversion of sodium chlorite to chorine dioxide. This conversion results in an economical process for the production of chlorine dioxide with minimum amounts of unreacted species and undesired by-products. Other devices currently available rely on the mixture of unseparated reactants in one device or the mixture of solutions of the reactants. In either case, the conversion and therefore the cost effectiveness is not economically attractive; these methods yield ClO2 with a high level of by-products.
