Abstract

PURPOSE:To remarkably increase the radiant quantity of short wave ultraviolet by sealing at least one of selenium and iodine gases into a light emitting tube, together with rare gas. CONSTITUTION:Electrodes 21 and 22 as a pair are so arranged as to oppose each other in a quartz glass tube 1 having both ends closed and allowing the transmission of ultraviolet. The electrodes 21 and 22 are connected to a power supply 5 with leads 31 and 32 via a lighting device 4. The tube 1 is internally maintained in decompressed state, and filled with at least one of selenium and iodine gases, together with rare gas such as argon gas. According to this construction, an ultraviolet radiant quantity remarkably increases, particularly at wave length near 200nm or below.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally used ultraviolet lamps are generally mercury vapor pressure discharge lamps in which metallic mercury is sealed, and they include a low pressure mercury vapor pressure discharge lamp (hereinafter referred to as "low pressure mercury lamp") and a high pressure. Mercury vapor pressure discharge lamp (hereinafter,
It is called a "high pressure mercury lamp". ) Are used. Since the high-pressure mercury lamp emits a strong light ray in the visible region and the ultraviolet region, it is used not only for illumination but also as a photochemical reaction lamp utilizing ultraviolet rays. On the other hand, the low-pressure mercury lamp emits a small amount of light in the visible region and relatively emits a large amount of light in the ultraviolet region, and is therefore mainly used as a photochemical reaction lamp.

In the use of ultraviolet rays, 330 to 200n
Ultraviolet rays in the wavelength range of m are used for compound synthesis, monomer polymerization and condensation reaction, and are used as a light source for exposure of photoresists used for fine processing of electronic parts and exposure of printing plates for printing. Has been done. Ultraviolet rays in the short wavelength region of 254 nm or less are used for the purpose of decomposition reaction of organic compounds and sterilization of microorganisms, and especially for the purpose of decomposing organic substances, 200n having a strong energy called decomposition line
Since a short-wavelength ultraviolet ray having a wavelength of about m or less is required, a low-pressure mercury lamp containing a large amount of ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of about 200 nm or less in the total radiation emitted by the mercury lamp is used.

The high-pressure mercury lamp also radiates ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 200 nm or less, but mainly radiates visible light having a longer wavelength and ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 254 nm or more.
Radiation of ultraviolet rays of nm or less is a very small amount, and the ultraviolet rays in this region are absorbed by the mercury vapor that is densely filled in the arc tube and are converted into unnecessary visible light and heat. It is very energy inefficient for use in the decomposition of organic matter.
