Description

Method for reducing discharge breakdown voltage in liquid medium
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of plasmas discharged in a liquid medium, and particularly relates to a method for reducing discharge breakdown voltage in the liquid medium.
Background
In recent years, research and application of discharge plasma in liquid are widely concerned at home and abroad, and discharge in liquid has important significance in hydrogen production by ethanol reforming, sewage treatment and sterilization. In the current research on the application of liquid phase discharge, the electrode spacing of the device is constant whether the electrode is needle-plate, needle-needle or plate-plate. Whereas the in-water discharge is characterized by a very high breakdown voltage and a relatively low voltage to sustain the discharge once ignited. If the discharge gap is loaded with a high enough voltage, although the discharge can be easily generated, the generated negative problems are many, including that the higher voltage level increases the volume and the cost of the power supply, and if the voltage cannot be adjusted back in time after the breakdown, the stabilized discharge current is relatively large, which can cause the ablation of the electrode on one hand, thereby affecting the service life and the safety of the discharge device, on the other hand, the load and the energy consumption of the power supply are also increased, and simultaneously, the working condition of the discharge device is not easy to be regulated, and if the output voltage of the power supply is not high enough, the discharge cannot be generated at all.
At present, in the process of generating discharge in a liquid medium, the electrodes are clamped and fixed without freedom degree, when voltage is applied to the two electrodes, the liquid medium between the electrodes can be punctured only when the applied voltage is high enough (for example, when the breakdown voltage of the two electrodes is over 25KV when the two electrodes are 1mm in deionized water), so that the requirements on experimental equipment are extremely high, and the implementation is difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects or the improvement requirements of the prior art, the invention provides a method for reducing discharge breakdown voltage in a liquid medium, under the condition of not changing the size of a discharge gap, the structure of an electrode and the discharge medium, the distance between the electrode and the liquid medium can be adjusted under the action of electrostatic force by enabling the electrode to have certain degree of freedom, the distance between the electrode and the liquid medium is shortened by mutual attraction of the two electrodes after the electrode is electrified, so that the discharge breakdown voltage in the liquid medium is reduced, when the discharge gap is broken down, current conduction exists between the two electrodes, the electrostatic attraction between the two electrodes disappears, the two electrodes return to the initial position to avoid the ablation of the electrode and the out-of-control of discharge caused by over intense discharge, the breakdown voltage of the discharge in water is greatly reduced, the utilization rate of energy is improved, and the difficulty of the discharge in water is reduced.
To achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a method for reducing a discharge breakdown voltage in a liquid medium, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of:
s1, oppositely placing two electrodes in the discharge liquid, setting the initial distance between the two electrodes, respectively clamping the two electrodes, and enabling at least one electrode to have the freedom degree of moving around the self clamping point;
s2, applying high voltage between the two electrodes, and attracting the two electrodes to enable the bottom ends of the two electrodes to gradually approach each other, so that the distance between the two electrodes is shortened, and the breakdown voltage between the two electrodes is reduced;
s3, the applied high voltage is gradually increased until the discharge occurs between the two electrodes, the discharge voltage breaks down the discharge liquid between the two electrodes, and after the discharge is ignited, the two electrodes recover to the initial distance, so that the breakdown process is completed.
Further preferably, in step S2, the power supply for applying the high voltage is preferably a dc power supply, a pulse power supply, an ac power supply, a radio frequency power supply, or a microwave power supply.
Further preferably, in step S1, the discharge liquid is preferably a non-conductive liquid.
Further preferably, in step S1, the discharging liquid is preferably absolute ethyl alcohol, an organic solvent, distilled water or deionized water.
In general, compared with the prior art, the above technical solution contemplated by the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
1. the two electrodes are arranged with a certain degree of freedom, so that the electrodes attract each other after high voltage is applied, the distance between the electrodes is shortened, the breakdown voltage is reduced, meanwhile, the electrodes can automatically return to the initial distance after discharge ignition, the discharge runaway and electrode ablation caused by over intense discharge are avoided, the safety is improved, and the service life is prolonged;
2. the invention applies high voltage on the two electrodes to continuously deposit charges at the bottom ends of the electrodes. Because the two electrodes are respectively a cathode and an anode, charges accumulated on the two electrodes are respectively negative charges and positive charges, electrostatic attraction is formed between the charges with different polarities under the action of an electrostatic field, so that the cathode and the anode are close to each other, when the distance between the two electrodes is close enough, a liquid medium is punctured under the action of an external voltage to generate discharge, after the discharge is generated, a conductive plasma channel is formed between the two electrodes, so that a conductive current flows through the electrodes, the charges accumulated on the electrodes disappear, the electrostatic attraction disappears, the two electrodes losing the action of the attraction are separated from each other, the electrode gap is increased, however, after the discharge is ignited, the voltage required for continuously maintaining the discharge is relatively low, and the discharge cannot be extinguished in the process of increasing the electrode gap. If the initial spacing between the electrodes is small, the discharge will continue as the electrodes return to the initial position until the applied voltage is removed. On the other hand, if the initial distance between the electrodes is large, the applied voltage is not sufficient to sustain the discharge when the electrodes return to the initial position, and the discharge is extinguished.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a device for generating an electric discharge in a liquid medium is provided, and fig. 1 is a schematic view of a structure for generating an electric discharge in a liquid medium according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device comprising the following structures: the device comprises a high-voltage power supply, a movable electrode capable of bearing high voltage, an underwater discharge vessel, a movable electrode fixing lantern ring, a ground electrode and an oscilloscope.
The high-voltage power supply can be a direct-current power supply, a pulse power supply, an alternating-current power supply, a radio-frequency power supply and a microwave power supply; the electrode can adopt metal needles with good conductivity, such as stainless steel needles, tungsten needles and the like; the high voltage applied on the electrode is a voltage larger than 220V, and the difference of the discharge voltage is large under different medium conditions, such as the breakdown voltage is higher than 30kV when the liquid is deionized water, and the breakdown voltage can be as low as 15kV when the liquid is absolute ethyl alcohol.
The discharge vessel in water is quartz glass vessel or other vessels which do not react with liquid and have good insulativity, high pressure resistance and high temperature resistance; the discharge liquid can be non-conductive liquid such as absolute ethyl alcohol, organic solvent, distilled water, deionized water and the like; the movable electrode fixing lantern ring is made of sponge rubber, other elastic substances or other fixing modes which can enable the electrodes to move can be adopted, and both the two electrodes can move or only one electrode can move; the method provided by the invention is suitable for needle-needle discharge, needle-plate discharge and discharge between other electrodes.
When the electrode does not pressurize, the two poles of the earth keep certain interval, when the high voltage electrode circular telegram, promote voltage gradually and do not puncture before discharging, accumulate the static charge on two movable electrodes, the electrode attracts each other under the effect of electrostatic force and is close to make the clearance of discharging reduce, reach the effect that reduces the breakdown voltage, and after discharging, the accumulation charge on two electrodes disappears, the effect of electrode lost electrostatic attraction power, can get back to initial interval under the effect of gravity or resilience force, moreover discharge can not be interrupted.
The effects of the present invention will be further described with reference to specific examples.
A40 KHZ high-voltage alternating-current power supply is selected, the discharge mode is liquid phase needle-needle discharge, the high-voltage electrode is a stainless steel needle, the discharge vessel uses a quartz glass container, the stainless steel needle is fixed on the container through an elastic sponge rubber lantern ring, the thickness of the sponge is adjusted to enable the electrode to be movable within a certain range, and the liquid adopts distilled water.
The initial distance between the stainless steel needles, namely the electrodes, is 5mm, after the stainless steel needles are electrified, the two stainless steel needles approach under the attraction of electrostatic force until the distance is about 1mm, discharge is generated when the voltage is 15KV, after the discharge, the two stainless steel needles lose the attraction and recover to the initial distance of 5mm, and the discharge is still carried out.
Comparative experiment: the selected power supply, electrode material, container and discharge mode are not changed, and the fixing mode of the electrodes is changed into an immovable fixing mode, i.e. the distance between the two electrodes is unchangeable. The distance between the first group of electrodes is 5mm, the voltage is added to 30KV, and no discharge is generated; the second set of electrodes was spaced 1mm apart and pressurized to 25KV to produce a discharge.
