Abstract: An apparatus for exciting a gas, comprising at least a pair of electrodes connecting to an alternating current source in a housing having an inlet opening for a gas to be treated and an outlet opening for a gas which has been treated, characterized in that one electrode of the pair of the electrodes is a suspended electrode arranged by placing it under a tension at a predetermined position in the housing, the other electrode of the pair of the electrodes is a buried electrode arranged at a predetermined position by being buried in the holding wall of the housing at the end thereof, an electrode portion of the buried electrode contains a linear or planar discharging portion as a whole, and the electrode portion of the suspended electrode, opposed to the electrode portion of the buried electrode, has discharging portions where a distance from the electrode portion of the buried electrode becomes cyclically short.

Abstract: A method for treating a gas characterized in that a low temperature plasma is generated in the presence of a metallic oxide oxidation catalyst, and an apparatus for treating a gas characterized by containing a low temperature plasma-generating unit carrying a metallic oxide oxidation catalyst are disclosed. According to the treating method and the treating apparatus, harmful components (such as carbon monoxide or a volatile organic compound) in a gas to be treated can be efficiently oxidized and rendered harmless, a foul odor may be rendered odorless, and further, microorganisms may be removed from and reduced in the treated gas.
