The invention relates to the technical field of plasma application, and discloses a device for reacting discharge plasmas positioned on the gas-liquid interface of a swirl gas column. The discharge is generated on the gas-liquid interface of the swirl gas column. The device comprises a swirler, an electrode, a high-voltage power supply, a gas-liquid mixing pump, an air compressor and a water tank, wherein the swirler can form a gas column; the electrode is matched with the gas column; and the gas-liquid mixing pump provides a liquid to be treated, which is mixed with a gas-phase medium, for the swirler. According to the device, the liquid to be treated, which is mixed with a gas-phase medium, enters the swirler after being increased to a certain flow velocity, the gas column is generated under the action of centrifugal force, the discharge electrode is switched on with the high-voltage power supply and then generates a high-intensity electric field in a short-distance hollow cylinder positioned between the gas-liquid interface and the outer surface of the electrode, and the gas-phase medium positioned in the high-intensity electric field is activated and generates the phenomenon of annular glow discharge, so that the plasma is generated, and the energy consumption can be reduced to 5-15 W. The device provided by the invention has a function equivalent to directly placing an ozone generation part into the liquid to be treated in an ozone oxidation process and has the advantages of large treatment amount, low energy consumption, simple structure and easiness for popularization.
