Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a process for producing chlorine dioxide from an alkali metal gas salt, an acid and a reducing agent. [Prior Art] Dioxide gas is used in various applications such as pulp bleaching, fat bleaching, water purification, and removal of organic substances from industrial waste. Because dioxide does not have storage stability, it must be manufactured on site. The dioxide gas is usually obtained by reacting an alkali metal gas salt with a reducing agent in a water reaction medium. The oxidizing gas can be taken out from the reaction medium as a gas, as in the methods described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,091,166, 5,091,1, and 6, 2,686. The receiver can absorb the oxidizing gas into the water to form its water solution. These are large-scale processes that require large process equipment and instruments. For the production of dioxide in small-scale units, such as water purification applications or small bleach plants, it is best not to separate the dioxide from the reaction medium, and to recover the solution containing the dioxide directly from the reactor, if necessary in water After dilution. 14 methods are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,836,324, 4,453,952, 5, 895, 638, 6, 904, 027, WO 〇〇/7691 9 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0175355, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. In recent years it has become a business method. The necessary process equipment and instruments are far less than the above-mentioned large-scale process, and there are still requirements for further improvement. In a small-scale process, it has been difficult to obtain a solution having a high concentration of sulfur dioxide 5 1342865 as desired for many applications such as recycled paper bleaching, pebbles, slag bleaching or small-scale paper poly-bleaching. Another problem with existing small scale processes for the manufacture of dioxide gas is that the concentration of dioxide in the product may vary depending on the rate of manufacture of the dioxide gas. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a oxidizing gas which is capable of producing a oxidizing gas directly in an aqueous solution having a high concentration of a gas. Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a oxidizing gas which is capable of producing a oxidizing gas directly from an aqueous solution having a concentration of a dioxin which can be maintained independently of the rate of manufacture of the oxidizing gas. Still another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for carrying out the method. A further object of the invention is to provide novel high concentration dioxide gas solutions. [Embodiment] It has been surprisingly found that a method for providing continuous production of a oxidizing gas is possible to meet these objectives, and the method comprises successive steps:

In Reactor 1, the feed stream is mixed and reacted to form a liquid, foam and steroid product stream containing dioxide, hydrazine, sodium sulphate and some residual sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate. The product stream is carried to the lower end of the absorption column 4, and water is supplied to the column at the top 6 of the column. The dioxide gas is absorbed in water to form a product solution which is taken out from the bottom 5 of the absorption tower. 12 1342865 In order to generate a subatmospheric pressure in the reactor 1 and the absorption tower 4, the injector 7 is connected to the absorption tower. The active water that is circulated through the sump 8 and then pumped by the pump 9 via the ejector is supplied to the ejector 7. The flowing water storage tank is vented so that any product gases, such as oxygen, that are not absorbed in the absorption tower can be removed. [Main component symbol description] 1.
