Problems solved by technology

[0012] Conventional gas treatment methods suffer from various problems due to energy inefficiency, generation of undesired intermediate products, and inefficient decomposition processes
[0013] In particular, pulsed streamer discharges are relatively costly and impractical due to the need for a high-voltage pulse generator to generate pulses with surge
[0014] In order to improve the efficiency of decomposition treatment, various methods using a photocatalyst such as titanium dioxide and using an adsorbent such as aluminum are available; however, a substance having high efficiency as both a catalyst and an adsorbent cannot be provided in general
Due to the inability to suppress nitrogen oxides (NO X ), so spot discharges (or packed bed discharges) using photocatalysts such as titania have many problems
Therefore, the aforementioned problems have not been resolved

Abstract

A gas treatment method is actualized by arranging a plurality of photocatalyst members each including photocatalyst, solid substance, and catalyst in a region of non-equilibrium plasma, which is produced using a surface discharge electrode and into which a treated gas such as an exhaust gas and a harmful gas including harmful chemical substances is introduced and is then subjected to decomposition. The surface discharge electrode comprises a ground electrode, an insulator encompassing the ground electrode, and a plurality of surface electrodes that are arranged relative to the ground electrode via the insulator, by which the non-equilibrium plasma is produced upon electrification. A gas treatment apparatus is constituted by arranging a plurality of surface discharge electrodes, each having a plurality of through holes penetrating in a thickness direction, between which a plurality of photocatalyst members are arranged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a gas treatment method and apparatus using non-equilibrium plasma generated by surface discharge electrodes. [0002] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-364898, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Exhaust gases from general waste and industrial waste incinerators include, for example, NO X , SO X and dioxin harmful chemicals. In order to avoid environmental pollution and undesired effects on the human body, it is required to decompose the harmful gas containing harmful chemical substances into a harmless gas before being discharged into the atmosphere. [0004] Generally, various gas treatment methods have been developed as a method for decomposing and treating harmful gases, and among them, a specific gas treatment method using electric discharge has been developed and put into practical use. The advantage of this gas trea...
