Dissociation of iodine molecules and singlet oxygen generation in O₂–I₂ mixture induced by 1315-nm laser radiation

O2(b1Σg+) Removal by H2, CO, N2O, CH4, and C2H4 in the 300–800 K Temperature Range

“…Gas phase processes involving oxygen molecules in the electronically excited state b 1 Σ g + have been studied extensively due to their importance in the terrestrial atmosphere, − oxygen-containing gas discharges, − the active medium of an oxygen–iodine laser, , and combustion. − Currently, a nonequilibrium plasma discharge has been actively studied − in view of its potential applications to ignition and flame stabilization. An important point is that plasma–chemical processes result in the formation of highly reactive atoms, radicals, and excited molecules including O 2 . ,,, In particular, plasma–chemical processes in air–fuel mixtures result in the formation of O 2 (b 1 Σ g + ) molecules that may activate chain reactions in the combustion zone .…”
