Abstract:
An electron beam source or generator is described for the treatment of materials, such as toxics, as influent in a reaction chamber. Preferred embodiments of the system include a source of an oxidizing agent in fluid communication with the influent. The oxidizing agent together with a dose of electron beam promotes reaction of the contaminant into less toxic forms so as to provide greatly enhanced destruction of contaminant that are otherwise resistant to oxidizing reactions.
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:
What is disclosed is a novel toxic waste remediation system designed to provide on-site destruction of a wide variety of hazardous organic volatile hydrocarbons, including but not limited to halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons in the vapor phase. This invention utilizes a detoxification plenum and radiation treatment which transforms hazardous organic compounds into non-hazardous substances.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for attenuating the energy and increasing the angular scattering of a radiation beam particularly suited for electron beams and for promoting dose uniformity in irradiated target products, including using a cooled, intermediate scatter plate which may or may not be perforated and a radiation reflective target basket.
Abstract:
Electron cyclotron resonance ion source having an enclosure containing a plasma of ions and electrons formed by electron cyclotron resonance from a sample. The enclosure is connected to a transition cavity by a first conductive duct, and by a second conductive duct traversing the cavity and the first duct. The sample is introduced into the enclosure by the second duct, and the cavity is laterally connected to a vacuum source and to an electromagnetic wave generator by a tight, transparent window.
Abstract:
An electron gun printer, having an electrically insulating vacuum enclosure, in which is located the gun, which gun emits an electron beam to a printing medium outside the enclosure, a focussing anode for modulating the intensity of the beam, deflecting coils or plates controlling an alternating movement of the beam to scan the lines of the printing medium, motor-driver rollers for controlling a displacement of the printing medium and a clock for synchronizing the anode and deflecting coils. One enclosure wall has at least two rows of windows arranged in staggered manner parallel to the scanned lines and respectively sealed by conductive plates, which are transparent to the electrons. The printer also includes plates or coils for deflecting the beam so that the beam alternately scans each row of windows during the displacement of the medium.
