English term

ions can be discharged

English to French Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
Discharge is produced in the first chamber and the gas then flows into a second chamber where the ions can be discharged.

C'est surtout la façon de rendre "discharged" qui me pose problème.

Merci.

Je comprends que L'ionisation se produit dans la première chambre, puis le gaz passe dans une seconde chambre où les ions peuvent être libérés.
Pour inspiration, voir l’illustration :

Sense? The characteristic of ions is to have an electric charge... There is no way "discharge ions" = "create ions", it's just the opposite.
If you discharge ions, you don't have ions anymore, not the other way around.
Daryo May 14, 2013:
not so obvious Discharge is produced in the first chamber = une décharge électrique / no problem

the ions can be discharged = in fact not so obvious

what is the purpose of this second chamber?
Without more context "où les ions peuvent être libérés" is as much plausible as "les ions vont libérer leur charges"
What kind of device is that? What happens next to this gas?

"Metallic sodium, and iron, may be regarded as discharged ions, possessing zero charge, Na0, and Fe0."

They are discharged = they dont have a charge [anymore]
