Abstract
This publication describes a dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor configured to treat fluorinated greenhouse gas, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrous oxide emissions. The technology integrates non-thermal plasma, localized heating assisted by nanocatalysts, and photocatalysis to decompose industrial emissions. Active species in the form of very small nanocatalysts are introduced into the plasma, allowing the nanocatalysts to become locally hot while the surrounding gas remains cool. A carrier gas generates light within the reactor to stimulate the catalytic materials. Various electrode configurations and sacrificial materials are employed to manage plasma density and capture reaction byproducts.
Keywords: dielectric barrier discharge, fluorinated greenhouse gases, emission treatment, photocatalysis, nanocatalyst, and nanoparticle catalysts.
