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.
Abstract:
A cathode-housing suspension of an electron beam device having a tubular body of elongate shape with an exit window extending in the longitudinal direction and a connector end in one end of the tubular body is disclosed. The electron beam device further comprises a cathode housing having an elongate shape and comprising a free end and an attachment end remote to the free end, and the attachment end comprises an outwardly extending flange provided with threaded openings for set screws and non-threaded openings for attachment bolts, for attaching the attachment end to a corresponding socket of the tubular body, wherein a mechanism configured to bias the attachment end away from the socket are arranged in the tubular body.
Abstract:
A system and method for producing a continuous or pulsed source of high energy electrons at or near atmospheric pressure is disclosed. High energy electrons are used to ionize analyte molecules in ambient air through collisions with reactant ions. The device includes an electron emitter, electron optics, and a thin membrane in an evacuated tube. The electron emitter may include a photocathode surface mounted on an optically transparent window and an external source of UV photons. The transparent window may include a UV transparent window mounted on an evacuated tube and/or the evacuated tube may be a transparent tube on which a photocathode surface film is deposited. The electron optics may include successive electrodes biased at increasing voltages. The membrane may include a material transparent or semi-transparent to energetic electrons. Upon impacting the membrane, continuous or pulsed electron packets are partially transmitted through to a high pressure ionization region.
Abstract:
An electron source of an X-ray fluorescence analyser includes a photon source (201) and a photoelectric converter (203, 204) for converting photons into electrons. An electron multiplier (203, 204) multiplies the electrons, and a focusing element (206, 207) focuses them to a beam. A gastight casing (209) encloses the photoelectric converter and the electron multiplier (203, 204). An electron-transparent membrane (213) covers a first opening in the casing at a location where the focused electron beam is directed out of the casing.

Abstract:
An electron beam emitter including a vacuum chamber having a width. An electron generator can be positioned within the vacuum chamber for generating electrons. An elongate nozzle can extend from the vacuum chamber along a longitudinal axis and have an exit window at a distal end of the nozzle. The nozzle can have a width that is less than the width of the vacuum chamber. The electron generator can be shaped and dimensioned, and positioned with the vacuum chamber to form and direct a narrow electron beam that enters and travels through the nozzle, and exits out the exit window.

Abstract:
An electron beam sterilizing device comprises an electron-generating filament, a grid connected to a voltage source, a beam shaper, and an output window. A high voltage source generates a high voltage potential between the electron-generating filament and the output window, for acceleration of electrons. The usability of the device is enhanced in that the electron-generating filament and/or the grid electrode comprises at least two operational portions for variation of the current and form of an output electron beam.

Abstract:
An electron beam irradiator capable of performing electron beam irradiation in a wide area at a high current density with a field emitter tip. The electron beam irradiator comprises: a vacuum chamber having a beam irradiation window formed longitudinally in an outer periphery of the vacuum chamber; a cathode placed centrally and longitudinally inside the vacuum chamber, and having a field emitter tip formed on the cathode, corresponding to the beam irradiation window; and a high voltage supply placed at one end of the vacuum chamber, and adapted to apply high voltage toward the cathode. The electron beam irradiation can be made in a wide area without using an electromagnet as well as in a high current density without using a heater such as a filament or an additional power supply, thereby to ensure a simplified structure as well as a reduced size.
