  • Publication number: 20020034590
    Abstract: A plasma reactor is provided which does not require a high power supply voltage and can form a plasma with a necessary and sufficient average current density over the whole region between a pair of electrodes to efficiently modify a gas flowing between the electrodes. The plasma reactor comprises first and second electrodes positioned to face each other, a dielectric material placed between the two electrodes and an electrical power supply for applying an alternating or pulsed current to the two electrodes and generating a plasma in the gas passing through the gap between the two electrodes to thereby modify the gas. By setting the average current density Ird of the plasma generated in the gap so that it satisfies the formula 10−4 A/cm2≦Ird≦10−1 A/cm2, a concentrated discharge and a barrier discharge are simultaneously generated, thus forming a plasma having a sufficient average current density Ird for the efficient modification of the gas over the whole region of the gap.

    Abstract: This invention provides a plasma reactor for modifying gas by plasma, including a first planar electrode and a second planar electrode, the two electrodes facing opposite each other approximately in parallel; a dielectric body inserted between the first and the second electrodes; and a complex barrier discharge-generating means for providing a predetermined electric potential difference between the first and the second electrodes; wherein the first and the second electrodes are provided so as to apply complex plasma discharge to the gas to be treated fed between the electrodes, to thereby modify the gas. According to the invention, gas modification efficiency can be remarkably improved.
