The point is there's supposedly *no* chlorine-containing species in the exhaust. They stay behind in the liquid phase, in a sort of "catalytic" role.
- "at the anode, the perchlorate gets oxidized to chlorate and chlorite ions, but none of that shows up in the gas phase"
- phyzome 3y agoIf truly none of it ends up the gas, that's cool. But I don't quite believe it, because it's happening in the context of combustion. Maybe if you route the vapor away from the liquid before burning it? There are other questions: What's the toxicity in a spill? What does refilling look like? It's an interesting piece of work, no doubt, but this is nothing that looks production-ready. I don't have access to the original paper (even through SciHub) and it might answer some of these questions.
