DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0069] The disclosure will now be further described with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these examples are merely illustrative of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. In addition, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made to the present disclosure after reading the teachings of the present disclosure, which also fall within the scope of the disclosure.

[0070] The term gas as used in the present specification and claims refers to gases in which atoms or molecules are capable of capturing additional electrons to form electronegative ions. Other technical and scientific terms in this specification have the general meaning known in the art.

[0071] An example of the present disclosure which provides alternating current corona discharge field or positive corona discharge field by using an electrode is described below. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto and if the electrode is capable of generating a plasma discharge in a sufficiently high energy state to generate electrons, it can also be used in the present disclosure.

[0072] FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a specific configuration of an apparatus for plasma aided gas phase reaction according to the present disclosure. In the corona discharge dual-electric field, the reaction gas preferentially passes through a high frequency alternating current corona discharge field or a high frequency high voltage positive direct current corona discharge field, and is converted into positive ions and free radicals in the electric field, and then passes through a high frequency high voltage negative direct current corona discharge field, and is reduced and converted into a product in the electric field.

[0073] In one embodiment of the apparatus of the present disclosure, the reactor has a corona discharge dual-electric field, i.e., a high frequency alternating current corona discharge field or a high frequency high voltage positive direct current corona discharge field and a high frequency high voltage negative direct current corona discharge field. The voltage is a high voltage, for example, 15,000 volts. The high frequency is a high frequency voltage, for example, 25 kHz. In the reactor, there is an electrode or an anode in the region of the high frequency alternating current corona discharge field or the high frequency high voltage positive direct current corona discharge field, and an electrode or cathode in the region of the high frequency high voltage negative direct current corona discharge field. The two corona discharge fields can provide a sufficiently high energy, for example 5 eV, to convert the gas molecules. Apparatus 117 has an outer housing that can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel or other suitable materials.

[0074] Two cylinder or tubular reaction chambers 111 and 118 are disposed within the apparatus 117 formed by the outer housing, wherein the material of the cylindrical or tubular reaction chamber may be made of stainless steel, carbon steel or copper and other metals. The center of each cylindrical or tubular reaction chamber is provided with center electrodes 112 and 116, which are needle-like or saw tooth rod electrodes with tips. The center electrode 116 in the first electric field applies a high frequency positive direct current voltage (or alternating current) to generate a high frequency high voltage positive direct current corona discharge field (or high frequency alternating current corona discharge field). A high frequency negative direct current voltage is applied to the center electrode 112 in the second electric field to generate a high frequency high voltage negative direct current corona discharge field. The voltage (strength) is selected to satisfy the condition that the gas delivered to the apparatus can be highly ionized in the metal cylindrical or metal tubular reaction chambers 111 and 118.

[0075] An insulating medium tube 122 is disposed between the center electrode and the cylinder to form a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in the electric field, and provide a narrow collision reaction zone to enhance the decomposition of all molecules into free radicals or ions, thereby forming product molecules, enhancing the electric field strength of the plasma-aided reaction process. The material of the insulating medium tube 122 is, for example, glass, ceramic, silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene sheet or the like.

[0076] The electrode material of the center electrodes 112 and 116 may be nickel, iron, steel, tungsten, copper, silver, carbon or platinum, or any other material that can be used for the electrodes and generates corona around the electrodes to generate electrons. The electrode can also be coated with a metal catalyst. Available precious metal catalysts are: gold, nickel, ruthenium, cobalt, ruthenium and platinum. Any precious metal catalyst capable of generating electrons can be used.

[0077] During operation, when the center electrode 116 is energized by an alternating current corona discharge field or a positive corona discharge field source, a positive corona is generated at the tip end of the center electrode 116 to generate a positive corona field discharge, and high energy electrons hit the gas molecules. If an insulating medium tube 122 is added, a DBD can be formed to enhance the electric field strength to enhance the oxidation reaction. When the center electrode 112 is energized by the negative corona discharge field source, a negative corona is generated at the tip end of the center electrode 112 to generate a negative corona field discharge, mainly for the reduction and reforming reaction.

[0078] The high voltage electricity is supplied to the center electrodes 112 and 116 through the cable electrode distribution plates 115 and 123 for discharge. The two cylindrical or tubular reaction chambers 111 and 118 are connected to the counter electrodes 120 and 121, respectively. The outer housing of the apparatus 117 is connected to the ground.

[0079] Gas filters 127, 128 and 129 are provided at the opening 113 at the bottom of the apparatus, the opening 110 at the top of the apparatus, and the junction of the two electric fields, respectively, which can be used for a gas filter having the function of adsorbing harmful chemicals and particles.

[0080] The gas mixture is fed into the corona discharge dual-electric field in the apparatus through the opening 113 at the bottom of the apparatus. Some gas molecules can receive the discharged electrons for oxidation and reforming in a high frequency alternating current corona discharge field or a high frequency high voltage positive direct current corona discharge field. In the high frequency high voltage negative direct current corona discharge field, the gas oxide or ions can be reduced and converted again. The product is removed through the opening 110 at the top of the apparatus and is vapor-liquid separated by a condenser 133 where liquid can be discharged through port 125 and gas can be discharged through port 124.

The center electrode 112 is connected to the negative electrode of the negative corona discharge field source, and the counter electrode 121 opposite to the center electrode 112 is disposed on the outer wall of the reaction chamber and connected to the positive electrode of the negative corona discharge field source, generating a strong negative electric field within the negative corona discharge field.
