Abstract
THE rate of recombination of chlorine atoms has been investigated using a flow system. The atoms were produced in a microwave discharge, and the atom decay followed by means of a movable thermocouple probe at which recombination occurred. The reaction tube of 4-cm internal diameter was poisoned with boric oxide. Runs using chlorine only, and chlorine/argon mixtures, were carried out. Linear flow speeds in the range 30–250 cm/sec, and total pressures (measured with a sloping oil manometer) of 0.24–3 mm mercury were used.
