Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plasma reactors, in particular to a reaction termination device for cooling a plasma reactor by using a nozzle. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, plasma reactors play a very important role in waste gas treatment and energy saving methods. Waste gas components are usually divided into several categories such as non-methane hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing organic compounds, halogenated hydrocarbons, nitrogen-containing organic compounds, and sulfur-containing organic compounds. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are also important precursors of urban haze and photochemical smog, mainly from coal chemical industry, petroleum chemical industry, fuel paint manufacturing, solvent manufacturing and use, etc.

[0003] At the current technical stage, plasma has a catalytic effect on VOCs, and the lower the temperature, the more obvious the activation effect. Plasma surface treatment can change the valence state of metal active components and achieve catalyst reduction. The reduction of catalyst surface metal is directly related to the high-energy electrons in the plasma. When the catalyst is placed in the plasma, the moving speed of the electrons is much higher than that of other heavy ions, so the electrons first reach the catalyst surface and form a stable plasma sheath layer on the catalyst surface.

[0004] The patent document with publication number CN217591176U discloses a temperature-reducing dielectric barrier discharge reactor. It is disclosed that high-energy electrons in low-temperature plasma bombard substance molecules, which can open molecular bonds, ionize, dissociate and excite substances, trigger a series of physical and chemical reactions, and even reactions that cannot be performed by conventional thermodynamics can occur. Low-temperature plasma has been widely concerned and researched in gas pollution control. However, during the generation of low-temperature plasma, part of the electrical energy is converted into heat energy, causing the temperature of the reactor to rise, affecting the activity of the catalyst, and during the process of low-temperature plasma cooperating with the catalyst to treat the target gas, other by-products are also generated, which need to be further treated. It includes a reaction tube, a cooling tube, a purification tube, a high-voltage electrode, and a grounding electrode. The upper part of the reaction tube is connected to the upper part of the purification tube through a communication pipe. The high-voltage electrode is arranged in the reaction tube through a sealing plug. The bottom of the reaction tube is provided with a gas inlet. The grounding electrode is sleeved outside the reaction tube and corresponds to the high-voltage electrode. The cooling tube is sleeved outside the grounding electrode. The cooling tube is provided with a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet. The bottom of the purification tube is provided with a gas outlet, and the top of the purification tube is sealed. The high-voltage electrode and the grounding electrode are connected with a power supply. The device solves the problem of the rise of the reactor temperature during the generation of low-temperature plasma, which affects the activity of the catalyst, and can continuously purify the gas. The device has a simple structure and is suitable for industrial production and market promotion and application.
