Abstract:
A novel, compact non-radioactive electron emitter is provided with a cylindrical shape and with an interior space (6), which forms a vacuum chamber. A substrate (7) forms the bottom of the arrangement with a plurality of field emitter tips (5) formed of carbon nanotubes in the interior space (6). The tips are fastened to the substrate. A layer structure forms the cover of the arrangement, having, from the outside towards the interior space (6), an electrode layer (13), which acts as a counterelectrode and is applied to a gas-impermeable and electron-permeable membrane (10). A substrate (11), which is left open in the form of a window (12) in the area above the field emitter tips (6), acts as a carrier substrate for the membrane (10) and the electrode layer (13). A circumferential wall (14) of the arrangement is formed by an electrically insulating material. The field emitter tips (5) and the electrode layer (13) are connected to a d.c. power source, so that the electrons exiting from the field emitter tips (5) are accelerated through the vacuum chamber, window (12) and the membrane (10) towards the electrode layer (13), pass through the electrode layer (13) and enter the ionization area (3) outside the electron emitter (1, 1′).
Abstract:
An apparatus for irradiating surfaces includes an electron beam generator for generating a beam of electrons. The beam of electrons exits the electron beam generator through an exit window. A robotic device moves the beam of electrons over the surfaces to irradiate selected regions of the surfaces. The robotic device includes a propulsion system for propelling the robotic device.
Abstract:
One or more electron beam tubes are arranged to direct electron beams in air or other ambient gas toward a target object. The electron beams ionize air producing a plasma or glow discharge. An electric or magnetic field in the beam trajectory sustains the plasma by trapping secondary electrons formed by collisions of beam electrons with the ambient atmosphere. Target objects may be placed in the field for surface treatment, such as sterilization, or for thin film growth. In the latter case, the apparatus is enclosed in a housing and a reactive gas is introduced into the beam trajectory. The gas is one which is crackable by the electron beam or plasma, such as an organic silicon compound which would liberate silicon for combination with ionized oxygen to form silicon dioxide layers on a substrate.
Abstract:
The invention is a transportable and reconfigurable system and method designed for on-site conversion of toxic substances to nontoxic forms. The invention includes an electron beam generator, a reaction chamber and effluent post-processing modules mounted on a carrier for transporting the system from site to site.
Abstract:
An electron beam source or generator is described for the treatment of toxic materials in a treatment system in which electron beams are reacted with a flowing influent in a reaction chamber. The system is modular allowing different configurations as demanded by the site and by the clean-up job. It is also portable in that it can be easily moved from place to place. If mounted on a movable base it can be taken from place to place for use.
