Plasma generation through ceramic substrate

摘要

The present general inventive concept discloses a ceramic composite substrate that, with proper construction and proper excitation, can generate uniform plasma throughout the substrate for fluid flow treatment to influence a change in its chemical, electrical or physical properties, and method for generating plasma throughout the substrate. The ceramic substrate can include fibrous or sintered semiconducting material, and can include optional structural fiber for support of the semiconducting materials, as well as an optional auxiliary thermal heating source for cleaning excess particulate matter.

主权项

1. A ceramic composite fibrous substrate to replace packed bed filtration systems, said substrate comprising:
at least one semiconductive fiber contained between at least two electrodes, said electrodes further defined to be a first electrode and a second electrode, said first electrode and said second electrode being connected so as to form a charged circuit to activate said at least one semiconductive fiber to facilitate the production of plasma.
