Abstract

A solid-state chlorine dioxide generator for generating an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide is formed within a block and includes (a) an eductor for establishing a vacuum, and (b) a reaction column for producing chlorine dioxide from precursor chemicals. The eductor has a water stream flowing there throughwhich establishes a vacuum and draws the chlorine dioxide from the reaction column into the water stream to form aqueous chlorine dioxide. The reaction column has a transition zone of increasing flow area wherein the precursor chemicals thoroughly mix resulting in conversion efficiencies of precursors into chlorine dioxide of 95% and above
