Abstract:
A process and device is provided for the separation of electronegative molecules from non electronegative molecules using electric fields. The molecules are ionized in a non thermal discharge plasma which produces negative and positive ions of the electronegative and non electronegative molecules. The ions are spatially separated by an average DC electric field. A means to filter is disposed in the path of the separated ions and it allows ions to pass through more easily than uncharged molecules. After the ions pass through the filter they are electrically neutralized back to uncharged molecules.
