ABSTRACT:
The rates of reaction between two gases is controlled by bringing the gases (hydrogen and oxygen) into an aqueous medium and into contact with a Contacogen which is wetproofed with respect to the medium. Even if the reaction between the gases in gas phase is exothermic, then normally the rate is quite slow if the reaction is carried out in a liquid such as water. By the use of a Contacogen, the rate is increased substantially over that in which the gases are reacted in a liquid medium, and much controlled over that which takes place in a gas phase reaction. The Contacogen is particulate in nature and maintained in a static condition and forms the situs of reaction between the two gases in the presence of an aqueous medium, the latter normally tending to inhibit reaction. The Contacogen is wetproofed to prevent flooding thereof by the aqueous medium and operates to increase the rate of reaction between the gaseous reactants in the aqueous medium over that possible absent the Contacogen.
