Electron attachment explodes Freon molecules: New possibilities for removing Freons from the atmosphere
It is suggested that Freon molecules could be destroyed by the attachment of electrons from the plasma of a discharge produced in the troposphere ( < 10 km). Experiments demonstrate that this destruction actually occurs. Microwave treatment of the atmosphere to protect the ozone layer from Freons is discussed in detail. Some preliminary experiments described here demonstrate a pronounced destruction of Freons in a microwave discharge.
