A generator for continuously creating chlorine dioxide. A lamp is positioned in a container holding aqueous chlorite, and the aqueous chlorite is circulated through a circulation tube. A shield reduces contact between the lamp radiation and the aqueous chlorite outside of the circulation tube. The aqueous chlorite in the circulation tube is irradiated by the lamp to generate chlorine dioxide. The chlorine dioxide can be removed from the container with an vacuum eductor or can be transported with a gas sparge. Continuous production of the chlorine dioxide can be monitored and controlled with a control module which detects the quantity of chlorine dioxide generated. The generator reduces safety hazards associated with the handling of chlorite solutions and provides an inexpensive, portable system for the in situ generation of chlorine dioxide.

[ What is claimed is:] [17.] A chlorine dioxide generator for use with a container holding aqueous chlorite comprising:a container having a cap;a U.V. lamp for generating radiation;a circulation tube disposed with apertures proximate said U.V. lamp for circulating the aqueous chlorite so that said U.V. lamp can irradiate aqueous chlorite within said circulation tube to create chlorine dioxide;an aspirator and sparge line between said circulation tube and U.V. lamp;a discharge port, in communication with the chlorine dioxide created within said circulation tube, for permitting the withdrawal of the chlorine dioxide from the container.
