Appeal No. 2000-0034
Application 08/473,634
THE INVENTION
The appellants’ claimed invention is directed toward a
method for decomposing a chemical compound. Claims 18, 33
and 34 are illustrative:
18. A method of decomposing a chemical compound
comprising the steps of:
providing an energy source which generates energy;
providing a reaction chamber;
providing a member positioned in the reaction chamber;
heating the member with the energy of the source; and
introducing a flow of a chemical compound into a confined
portion of the reaction chamber to impinge the member so that
the chemical compound receives heat from the member and the
chemical compound decomposes to form an end product and
wherein no substantial deposition of the end product takes
place on the member during decomposition of the chemical
compound.
33. A method of decomposing a chemical compound
comprising the steps of:
providing an energy source which generates an energy;
providing a reaction chamber;
providing a member positioned in the reaction chamber;
heating the member with the energy of the energy source;
providing a flow of a chemical compound into the reaction
chamber; and
