A Plasma torch (10) for microwave induced plasma spectrochemical analysis of a sample includes a nozzle (30) in an inlet (18) for the main plasma gas flow between outer tube (12) and intermediate tube (14) of the torch (10). The nozzle (30) increases the gas flow velocity in the sheathing gas layer for the plasma which is provided by the gas flow from the annular gap (22) between the tubes (12 and 14). The increased velocity of the gas in the sheathing gas layer “stiffens” that layer and thus better confines the microwave induced plasma (such better confinement not being necessary for an ICP torch). Thus the torch is of improved durability for a microwave induced plasma compared to an ICP torch. The sample injection (inner) tube (16) may have a reduced diameter outlet at its end (34) which is substantially level with the end (35) of intermediate tube (14) to improve injection of a sample into the microwave induced plasma. The inlet end (26) of the sample injection tube (16) may include a heater (36) to assist in preventing blockages in tube (16) near its outlet end.

The invention relates to the production of light-amplifying optical material. Liquid reactant is atomized into droplets using a high velocity gas. The droplets are subsequently introduced into a flame. Reactants are oxidized in the flame and condensed by forming small particles. At least a fraction of said particles is collected and fused to form optical waveguide material, which is subsequently drawn to form an optical waveguide. According to the invention, the velocity of the atomizing gas stream is in the order of the velocity of sound. The high velocity enhances atomization and increases reaction rates in the flame. The residence times are reduced to such a degree that unwanted phase transformations in the produced particles are substantially minimized. Consequently, very homogeneous material is produced. Especially, in the production of erbium-doped silica, low percentage of clustered erbium ions is achieved.

A fine-particle classification apparatus includes an aerosol generation section which generates an aerosol containing fine particles in a medium background gas, a fine-particle classification section which classifies the fine particles contained in the aerosol in a sheath gas, and an introduction section, between the aerosol generation section and the fine-particle classification section, which introduces the aerosol generated in the aerosol generation section into the fine-particle classification section. The introduction section uses a carrier gas with an adequately high velocity to introduce the aerosol generated in the aerosol generation section to the classification section using a pressure difference.

The present invention relates to a hole-jetting type reactor and its applications, in particular to a process for the production of isocyanates by the phosgenation of aliphatic or aromatic diamines or triamines in the gas phase using this reactor. The present invention achieves a good mixing and reacting result of the gas-phase phosgenation reaction at a high temperature by improving the mixing of reactants in the reactor to reduce the possibility of forming swirls and eliminate negative pressure produced at a local jet area, which can finally reduce back-mixing and formation of solid by-products.

A gas meter for ultrasound measurements in a breathing apparatus has a gas conduit having an inner wall defining an inlet in a first end of the gas conduit and an outlet in a second end of the gas conduit, and an ultrasound transducer arrangement configured to measure the speed of sound in a gas flowing through a part of said gas conduit forming a measurement chamber.
