PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform the generation of a radical, the breaking, removal, separation, and recycle of an object, the inactivation, decomposition, and extinction of a microorganism or organism, and the decomposition, detoxication, and deodorization of molecules while submerged large-capacity streamer-like discharge is caused by applying pulse power across a linear electrode and another electrode. SOLUTION: The pulse power from a pulse power source 3 is applied across a linear electrode 1 and a plate electrode 2. The space between the electrodes 1 and 2 is filled up with tap water. The streamer-like discharge 5 spreads through the whole space between the electrodes 1 and 2. It is also possible to use a cylindrical electrode, a semicylindrical electrode, several plate electrodes surrounding the linear electrode 1, a spiral electrode, or a meshed electrode instead of the plate electrode 2. While the discharge 5 is caused, the generation of a radical, the breaking, removal, and recycle through breaking and separation, sterilization, and inactivation of an object, the decomposition, deodorization, and detoxication of molecules, etc., are performed at high efficiency. |
