.~.~.~ Decomposing a compound in the reaction zone
DEFINITION
Classification: 60/218
(under subclass 205) Process directed to decomposing a single compound in the reaction zone.
(1) Note. To come within the scope of this subclass a single compound must be broken down or rearranged to produce products which will have additional reaction effect. For example, decomposing hydrogen peroxide to produce steam and oxygen gas. For patents claiming the apparatus for producing a motive fluid which is principally steam see subclass 227.
