Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for use in the treatment of bodies and materials, and it has particular, though not exclusive, application in the disinfection and sterilization of items used in the food industry and in medicine.
- an 2 apparatus for the treatment of a solid body that includes an atmospheric pressure plasma generator, a plasma- forming gas supply system, a power supply, and a support for a body to be treated.
- the gas is fed in such a way as to form and maintain a streamed plasma ⁇ et, which results m a comparatively high energy consumption.
- the plasma channel is elongated and the energy consumption reaches 5-10 kW, the plasma- forming gas consumption being increased to 5 1/m ⁇ n. or more.
- the applications of this method and apparatus are seriously restricted. Because of the high temperatures involved, the method is not suitable for application to a large number of materials, for example, to polymers, which are widely used in the food industry and in medicine .
- a method to be described below, m illustration of the present invention is an improvement in the method proposed n the above-mentioned Russian Federation patent. It is proposed to supply plasma-forming gas or gases under atmospheric pressure to a discharge gap formed by at least two electrodes, to exit a discharge, and to introduce a surface to be treated into a processing zone.
- the surface of a body should be treated by an actuating plasma medium, which takes the shape of the body during direct contact with it.
- the initiation of an electric discharge is obtained by applying a voltage with a changing value sufficient to form an actuating plasma medium.
- Plasma- forming gases may be inert gases and/or nitrogen and/or oxygen and/or their mixtures, as well as their mixtures with other gases.
- the plasma medium may be modified by altering the ratio of plasma- forming gases and/or electric discharge power and that the surface may be treated by moving it and the actuating plasma medium relative to one another.
- the method can be applied to materials, tools, containers and other objects used in food, medical, and the pharmaceutical industries.
- a plasma-forming gas or mixture is fed to and fills the electrode gap, and a peak voltage which exceeds the breakdown voltage of the electrode system when filled with the gas, is applied to the electrodes. It is of special importance to provide direct contact between the electrode gap and the gas source because, should gas be absent, the gap is likely to become filled with air, and the initiation of a plasma discharge in such an air gap will require higher voltage and a greater expenditure of energy in order to maintain the discharge. Thus, the supply of a plasma- orming gas to the electrode gap stimulates the formation of the actuating plasma medium upon the application of a given voltage applied to the electrodes.
- Plasma can also be generated by a voltage with a changing value if a plasma forming gas fills a part of the discharge gap and the electric field is strong enough to break down the gas layer.
- the air layer of the gap serves as the dielectric of the capacitor formed by the electrode and the plasma-forming gas layer.
- plasma-forming gas should be supplied either (a) through a tube or a nozzle whose output end is placed directly in the electrode gap, or (b) through a tube or several tubes whose output ends are some way from the gap, but so arranged that the axis of symmetry of the gas flow produced by each of the tubes, or the axis of symmetry of the resultant joint gas flows, passes to the electrode gap.
- a body to be treated is placed so that the surface of the body, or a part of it, is in the plasma medium area and is processed by the plasma-induced diffusion flow of active particles toward the surface of the body.
- the particles sterilize the micro-organisms on it.
- the particle flux density and, hence, the efficiency of the killing effect of the plasma particles depend upon their concentration m the plasma medium. In other words, the efficiency is higher the less equillibriu there is in the plasma.
- the plasma medium may be made to be substantially out of equillibrium by specially selecting the variation with time in the pattern of the voltage applied to the electrodes. Pulse or sinusoidal RF voltage patterns are the most effective.
- the method can be implemented with an apparatus including an atmospheric pressure plasma generator, a gas source, a power supply, and a support of a body to be treated.
- the plasma generator operating as an actuating plasma medium generator, includes, at least two electrodes connected with the power supply, the electrode gap being in direct contact with the gas supplying system, and the support for a body to be treated being so arranged that the body is placed in the discharge gap.
- one of the electrodes may constitute the support for the body.
- the body to be treated is placed on a flat electrode in the discharge gap.
- the electrodes may be made in the form of dielectric tubes connected with the gas supplying system.
- the spatial parameters of the actuating plasma medium are largely determined by the mode of the gas flow in the electrode gap.
- a dielectric container may be placed between the electrodes, and the gas is supplied to this container.
- the support with a body to be treated is also placed in the container.
- the spatial distribution of the actuating plasma medium in the container is determined by its interaction with the container walls.
- the shape of the actuating plasma medium can be controlled by selecting the shape of the container.
- the body to be treated needs no special support and can be placed on the inner wall of the container. Then the shape of the wall is chosen so as to achieve the optimum process conditions.
- At least one of the electrodes may be placed in the container. Thus, it is possible to reduce the gap between the electrodes and to lower the amount of energy required for initiating the plasma discharge.
- the surface to be processed is larger than the size of the actuating plasma medium, the surface and the plasma medium may be moved relative to each other so that the plasma scans the surface.
- Such devices are useful in the processing of packaging material or the inner walls of pipes .
- the arrangement of the system may vary depending on the purpose of the device.
- the system may include, for example, temperature gauges, sensors of the composition and shape of the plasma medium, and of the temperature and shape of the body to be treated.
- an actuating plasma medium excludes the dynamic component of plasma propagation, distribution and impact on the material; it also has a smaller volume, i.e. there is a smaller plasma channel length.
- a "Jet” and a “Medium” differ in the manner in which they treat the surface: a plasma net can damage the structure of some materials and saturate them with oxygen, thus severely reducing the stability of the resultant properties of the material.
- a jet has a limitation upon the scale of its effect on the surface, the so-called “impact or effect zone,” as the ⁇ et contacts the surface, the area over which the effect occurs is limited by the cross-sectional area of the ⁇ et.
