PLASMA REACTION VESSEL AND GAS REFORMING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas reforming reactor by plasma capable of fitting to the reaction process of a reacting gas and consequently to drastically improve the gas reforming efficiency. SOLUTION: This plasma reaction vessel is provided with the first flat-plate electrode 3 and second flat-plate electrode 4 opposed to each other, a dielectric 5 interposed between the electrodes and a means 6 for imparting a potential difference between the electrodes 3 and 4, and a high voltage is impressed between the electrodes to decompose the gas introduced between the electrodes. Further, the ratio of the width W of the electrodes 3 and 4 practically orthogonal to the gas introducing direction to the length L in the gas introducing direction is set in accordance with the reforming reaction of the gas.
