Abstract
A system for collecting, reprocessing, and recycling chemical species used in the operation of a chemical oxygen-iodine laser system, especially a space-based system, is described. The system primarily includes: (1) a collection system for collecting spent basic hydrogen peroxide containing aqueous potassium chloride; (2) a first processing system which converts the aqueous potassium chloride into molecular hydrogen, molecular chlorine, and aqueous potassium hydroxide; (3) a second processing system which combines water and the molecular hydrogen from the first processing system with molecular oxygen from a molecular oxygen source to form aqueous hydrogen peroxide; (4) a third processing system which removes any moisture from the molecular chlorine which is then introduced into a molecular chlorine source; and (5) a mixing system for mixing the aqueous hydrogen peroxide from the second processing system with the aqueous potassium hydroxide from the first processing system to form basic hydrogen peroxide which is then introduced into a basic hydrogen peroxide source.
