PLASMA REACTOR FOR LIQUID AND GAS

摘要

A system for performing treatment of a liquid by ionized gas comprises a laminar flow liquid gas plasma reactor. The plasma reactor includes electrodes, an upper and lower flow spreader, and a housing. The reactor uses gas to form a gas zone above the liquid where the gas is ionized directly above and in direct contact with the liquid. The ionized gas reacts with the liquid to form an effluent.

1. A laminar flow plasma reactor comprising:
a housing including a reactor chamber internal to the housing; and an electric field generator including a dielectrically isolated first electrode and spaced apart second electrode configured to generate an electric field therebetween, the first electrode and a second electrode together producing an electrical field; and a upper flow spreader to supply a stream of gas to the reactor chamber, the upper flow spreader positioned within the reactor chamber concentrically with the first electrode; and a lower flow spreader to supply a stream of liquid to the reactor chamber, the lower flow spreader positioned within the reactor chamber concentrically with the first and second electrodes and the upper flow spreader, wherein the stream of liquid and the stream of gas flow adjacent one another radially outward from the center of the reactor chamber and pass through the electric field; and a gas source to supply a flow of gas to the reactor at an equal or higher pressure than the pressure in the reactor chamber.
