PLASMA REACTOR FOR CARRYING OUT GAS REACTIONS AND METHOD FOR THE PLASMA-SUPPORTED REACTION OF GASES

摘要

A device for carrying out gas reactions, comprising a plasma reactor with a through-flow of gases which has a, particularly cylindrical, plasma chamber, wherein flow-forming elements for forming a flow of gases are arranged before and/or in and/or after the plasma reactor in order to form a gas stream within the plasma chamber such that at least one, particularly central, zone in the gas flow is formed which is flow-reduced. A method for carrying out gas reactions is also provided.

1. A method for carrying out gas reactions comprising the steps of passing a stream of gas or of gasifiable substances through a microwave-excited plasma in a plasma chamber of a plasma reactor, to convert the components in a device for carrying out gas reactions, wherein the device comprises a plasma reactor with a through-flow of gases, said plasma reactor having a plasma chamber, wherein flow-forming elements for forming the flow of gases are arranged in the plasma reactor to form a gas stream within the plasma chamber such that at least one zone in the gas flow is formed which is flow-reduced for producing a stable plasma, wherein said flow-forming elements are arranged to be adjustable, wherein the flow-forming elements for forming the flow of gases are configured to cause a rotating gas stream wherein a rotation speed of the gas stream is lowest at a central part of the gas stream and for forming the flow-reduced zone in the rotation center of the gas stream, and forming at least one flow-reduced zone in the gas stream by adjustable flow-forming elements for producing a stable plasma within such a zone.
