The invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature
plasma application, in particular to a
plasma nitrogen fixation device and method based on
spark discharge, which are used for converting
nitrogen and
oxygen into
nitrogen oxides and synthesizing
nitric acid. The device comprises a T-shaped
quartz glass reactor, two transverse ends are provided with
electrode mounting ports, and the longitudinal bottom is provided with a gas outlet; the high-
voltage electrode and the low-
voltage electrode respectively penetrate through the mounting port, and each electrode comprises a gas inlet
copper pipe, a first-stage gas splitter plate (the aperture is 2mm), a second-stage gas splitter plate (the aperture is 1mm) and a
discharge copper pipe array (the outer
diameter is 2mm / the inner
diameter is 1mm) which are communicated in sequence; and the two electrode
discharge copper tube arrays are parallel and opposite. The method comprises the following steps: uniformly distributing gas to the copper
pipe array through the two-stage splitter plate, applying alternating-current
high voltage to generate a dynamic moving arc, discharging the generated
nitrogen oxide-containing gas through the gas outlet, and introducing the
nitrogen oxide-containing gas into the absorption device to prepare acid. According to the scheme, low-temperature efficient
nitrogen fixation is achieved through the synergistic effect of the gradually-shrunk shunt and the array electrodes.
