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: In a magnetic material, a magnet powder and an amorphous metal are used as ingredients. The magnet powder is neodymium-iron-boron magnet powder. The amorphous metal contains a rare-earth element, iron, and boron. The amorphous metal contains the rare-earth element in the range of 22 to 44 atomic %, and the boron in the range of 6 to 28 atomic %. The magnetic material is obtained by mixing the magnet powder and the amorphous metal, and heating the mixture to a temperature or more, the temperature being lower by 30° C. than the crystallization temperature (Tx) of the amorphous metal, or when the amorphous metal is a metallic glass, heating the mixture to a temperature of the glass transition temperature (Tg) thereof or more.

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.
