The invention relates to an improved method and to an improved device for degassing polymer melts and for neutralizing the thus produced pollutants, characterised by the following characteristics: said pollutants are guided to a plasma source after removal from the degassing area and prior to adding to a filter step or a separator, said plasma source being built and/or formed such that in said plasma source, the pollutants are transformed, entirely or partially, in a plasma aggregate state.

Provided is a novel exhaust gas processing device which allows processing target exhaust gas having a large flow volume to be handled with a small-capacity plasma generator, by preheating a high-temperature decomposable gas component of the processing target exhaust gas. An exhaust gas processing device 10 preheats processing target exhaust gas F in the presence of moisture with heat from at least either an electric heater 15 or a heat exchanger 17 and subsequently thermally decomposes the exhaust gas with an atmospheric pressure plasma P. A device main body 11 has a heating decomposition chamber T therein. A plasma generator 14 is of a non-transferred type and is installed at a top surface portion 11a of the device main body 11. A reactor 12 has a cylindrical shape and is installed within the device main body 11 such that an upper end opening 12i thereof is directed toward a plasma emission port 14f of the plasma generator 14. A moisture supply unit 18 is provided at an inlet side of the device main body 11. At least either the electric heater 15 or the heat exchanger 17 is disposed in a first space T1.

A gas treating apparatus may include a reaction chamber configured to process a gas supplied from an outside by a plasma, the processed gas containing a nitrogen oxide, and a nitrogen oxide reduction apparatus connected to the reaction chamber. The nitrogen oxide reduction apparatus includes a cooling unit configured to cool the processed gas to a temperature lower than a nitrogen oxide generation temperature.

The present disclosure provides a method for converting the target gas contained in the exhaust gas in plasma phase and an apparatus for implementing the method, the method comprising the steps of: generating a plasma in a conversion region in which the conversion of the target gas occurs; supplying, to the conversion region, a conversion promoting agent containing a conversion promoting element of which the first ionization energy is not greater than 10 eV for promoting the conversion of the target gas; supplying, to the conversion region, a conversion agent that produces conversion products by combining with the dissociation products of the target gas and prevents the dissociation products from recombining into the target gas; and supplying the exhaust gas containing the target gas to the conversion region.

A plasma air purifying device includes a container and at least one plasma-generating element. The container includes a container body, a plurality of first partition plates and a plurality of second partition plates. The container body has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an accommodating space between the air inlet and the air outlet, and the accommodating space includes a plasma zone and a reaction zone. The first partition plates and the second partition plates are staggered in the reaction zone to separate a plurality of reaction chambers. The reaction chambers integrate spatially first through channels of the corresponding first partition plates and second through channels of the corresponding second partition plates so as to form a repetitive bending reaction channel, such that the plasma can purify the air flowing through the air inlet, the plasma zone, the repetitive bending reaction channel and the air outlet.

The present specification, in some embodiments, describes a personal wear device that direct the flow of air away from a person's face, reducing or blocking the flow of infectious pathogens towards a patient's naso-oral area thus reducing the risk of inhalation of infectious or noxious pathogens. In another embodiment, the present specification describes a personal air management mask system for use by a patient for reducing or preventing exposure to and inhalation of infected aerosol during a medical procedure.

Embodiments disclosed herein include a particle collection trap for an abatement system for abating compounds produced in semiconductor processes. The particle collection trap includes a device for producing spiral gas flow in the particle collection trap. The spiral gas flow causes particles, which are heavier than the gas, to travel to the outside diameter of the flow path where the gas velocity is slower and to drop out of the gas stream. The device may be a spiral member coupled to a hollow tube or a rolled member having an inner portion coupled to a hollow tube. The particle collection trap increases the accumulation rate of particles in the gas stream without reducing the velocity of the gas flow.

A method for intelligently preventing and handling indoor air pollution is adapted to be implemented in an indoor space and includes providing a cloud processing device to receive and intelligently compare an outdoor gas detection data, an indoor gas detection data, and device gas detection data with each other. Then, the cloud processing device remotely transmits a control signal to the communication relay station and further to an indoor gas exchange system, so that the indoor gas exchange system is capable of intelligently enabling the gas processing device and controlling the operation time of the gas processing device for exchanging a polluted gas in the indoor space with the outdoor gas. Moreover, the gas exchanger can perform purification for the polluted gas at the location of the gas exchanger, thereby allowing the polluted gas in the indoor space to be exchanged into a clean, safe, and breathable gas.

A system for exhaust gas remediation includes an engine, a plasma reactor, and a pulse source. The engine emits exhaust gas that includes NO molecules and NOx molecules. The plasma reactor includes an internal chamber that is fluidly connected to the engine such that the exhaust gas flows into the internal chamber. An electrode is disposed within the internal chamber of the plasma reactor. The electrode is electrically coupled to an electrical pulse source. The electrical pulse source delivers electrical pulse to the electrode to form a plasma from the exhaust gas, which removes at least a portion of the NO molecules and at least a portion of the NOx molecules.

Described herein are various embodiments of an oxygen concentrator system. In some embodiments, oxygen concentrator system includes one or more components that improve the useful lifetime of gas separation adsorbents.
