47 : 56 345. The gettering of chemically active gases in a mercury arc discharge and its significance for steel tank convertors. Switzerland. The phenomenon of gas clean-up by the steel walls of mercury arc discharge vessels has been known for a long time. The mechanism has been investigated quantitatively, so that-to use the terminology of vacuum techniques-a pumping or gettering speed S can be calculated, which-in conjunction with the partial pressure p of chemically active gases-corresponds to a gettering capacity Qg = p.s. The method of measuring this quantity is described and it is shown that in a properly manufactured discharge vessel the pumping speed S for the constituents of air, other than the noble gases, is 8 to 10 I./set and more, at p = 1 0, for a comparatively small discharge current of only 30 A. Over a wide pressure range (1OF to 10-l torr) the pumping or gettering speed is proportional to l/p, i.e. the getter capacity Qg is independent of p. By measuring the partial pressures of all gases present in the atmospheric air for various loadings of the discharge vessel, it was found that even prior to the steel walls becoming saturated with chemically active gases the amount of rare gases (e.g. argon) can reach a dangerously high level ; this results in a reduction of the rated reverse voltage capacity of the discharge vessel.
