Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the treatment of matter by plasma action and, in particular, to a reactor and method for effecting such treatment via discrete electrical discharges.
  • Tylko one of the co-inventors herein, which patent is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • low temperature plasma as defined in the incorporated patent is an arbitrary reference to plasmas having an ion temperature below 100,000 * K. That convention is retained herein.
  • particle matter includes solid particles as well as fluids (gases or liquids), and combinations or mixtures thereof.
  • the industrial application of low temperature plasma technology has developed along two different routes.
  • the first route in which the volume of the arc discharge was not used for entrainment of feed stocks
  • the second route aims at the treatment of particles in the whole volume of the plasma produced—treatment "in flight.” For this purpose, it was required to expand the plasma and this involves increasing its original volume. This is the development of Jozef K. Tylko, one of the co-inventors herein.
  • the method of the incorporated patent addressed many of the limitations of the orbiting torch technology discussed above.
  • an arc discharge was generated between stationary electrode structures, at least one of those structures being annular.
  • a primary requirement of the system was the establishment and maintenance of an expanded plasma within the reaction zone between the electrode structures.
  • Early versions of the methodology of the incorporated patent also required utilization of a plasmatron. Later versions utilized a simple electrode structure as the central cathode while maintaining an annular ring structure for the anode, the annular anode being formed by multiple anode segments.
  • the method of the incorporated patent resolved the mechanical limitations in the prior art by orbiting the arc by non-mechanical means whereby rapid rates of "rotation" far greater than those possible by mechanical means were attained. Additionally, pulsation of the arc by rapid changes in the applied power established conditions which improved the ability to maintain the arc discharge while also utilizing non-thermal phenomena which enhance the plasma action on the matter being treated.
  • the perceived need to maintain the arc discharge orbiting around the annular electrode structure significantly limited the industrial utility of the method.
  • significant loading volumes remained a problem. During operation, a pattern of least energy configuration was established . As a result, particles were not uniformly treated.
  • the present invention provides the advantages of the method of the incorporated patent while dispensing with the need to maintain an orbiting arc discharge. Instead, a series of discrete electrical discharges are utilized in a treatment or reaction zone defined by spaced electrode structures, the treatment zone containing large amounts of particles to be treated and the discharges acting on these particles "in flight.” As described herein, these discharges may be sequential in time, but need not be sequential in space and may overlap in time and space and may be simultaneous. Thus, the criticality of maintaining a sequential orbiting discharge is eliminated.
  • SUBSTITUTESHEET(RULE26J dense suspension of particles in the treatment zone increases the effective energy flux while utilizing non-thermal phenomena first recognized in the method of the incorporated patent.
  • these non-thermal phenomena are the result of the formation of "microfields" in which very high local potential differences and other associated fluctuating anomalies occur.
  • These high local potential differences and associated anomalies appear to have a pronounced effect on the particles being treated, such as the imposition of electrical and mechanical stresses, assisting disruption and causing polarization, increased ionization, and interaction with solid state effects. Effects of this character are essentially primarily non-thermal and reside in the microscopic mechanisms of plasmas. As noted in the incorporated patent, they have been observed but have hitherto been dependent upon the establishment and maintenance of a sufficiently stable plasma for their economic utilization.
