Abstract: An electrode for plasma generation according to the present invention includes a plurality of collecting portions having a plurality of through holes, the plurality of collecting portions facing a gas flow in a direction where gas to be treated flows and provided spaced apart from each other. The electrode is applied to a plasma reactor of a treatment device to be provided for a device which discharges the smoke including PM, for example, an exhaust gas purifying device for automobile, or a smoke treatment device used in a facility where the smoke is discharged such as a plant.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification apparatus 4 includes a plasma reactor 7 having gas flow passages 28 through which exhaust gas is to pass, and a power source 8 for supplying power to the plasma reactor 7 with a variable application voltage and/or a variable frequency of the application voltage of the power to be supplied. The exhaust gas purification apparatus 4 is adapted to change the application voltage and/or a pulse recurrence frequency of the application voltage, based on a change in amount of PM and/or flow rate of gas passing through the gas flow passages 28. Accordingly, efficient oxidization of PM in the exhaust gas and suppression of consumption of discharged power are achieved.
