<title>Regeneration of basic hydrogen peroxide and chlorine for use in chemical oxygen iodine laser</title>

Abstract

The chemical oxygen-iodine laser derives its energy from the reaction of basic hydrogen peroxide with chlorine. The traditional oxygen-iodine laser uses an "open loop" cycle, in which fresh reactants are furnished in bulk form. This approach is not suitable for a continuously operating laser because supplying fresh reactants and disposing of reaction products are expensive and require significant logistics. This work describes a new concept for continuous in-situ regeneration of chlorine and basic hydrogen peroxide.

Electrochemical production of basic hydrogen peroxide and chlorine for use in chemical oxygen-iodine laser

“…After removal of water in the concentrator, rejuvenated BHP is returned into the storage tank. 4. CONCLUSION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A realistic concept for regeneration of BHP and Cl2 for COIL has been presented and several possible implementations described.…”
