[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a device for degrading sulfur hexafluoride by combining light and heat with 304 stainless steel. The device includes a ventilation component 100, including a gas mixing component 101 and a control component 102. The control component 102 is arranged on the gas mixing component 101;

[0040] Furthermore, the heating element 201 includes a quartz tube 201a fixedly connected to one side of the gas distribution and mixing device 101d, and a tubular reaction furnace 201b connected to the outer side of the quartz tube 201a.

[0041] Furthermore, the irradiation member 202 includes a violet light tube surrounding the tubular reaction furnace 201b.

[0042] Furthermore, the container 203 includes a 304 stainless steel body 203a fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tubular reactor 201b.

[0043] During the operation, the flow of H2, Ar and SF6 is controlled by solenoid valves to achieve the ratio of the three gases. The tubular reactor 201b and the quartz tube 201a are composed. The reactor mainly provides the temperature required for the reaction. The gas can react within the temperature range of 100-900℃ through the quartz tube 201a in the reactor; the ultraviolet irradiation system can provide ultraviolet light source on the inner wall of the reactor; and the 304 stainless steel inside the reactor needs to be scrubbed with alcohol, then dried for 4 hours to remove surface impurities, and finally installed in the quartz tube 201a inside the reactor. The gas after the reaction will be passed into the cooling device with the same gas pipe to prevent the high-temperature gas from damaging the experimental equipment, and a liquid collection device is also added behind the cooling device to collect the liquefied gas. Finally, after drying, the gas will be passed into the SF6 detector to detect the degradation efficiency of the entire device.

[0044] The photothermal combined reactor 200 includes at least an air inlet and an air outlet to ensure the internal airflow can circulate. The connecting parts of the cooling device, liquid collection device, drying device and SF6 detector must also be Teflon air pipes to prevent the air pipes from being corroded.

The device includes a cooling and exhaust assembly 300, including a cooling component 301 and an exhaust component 302.

[0047] Specifically, the cooling member 301 includes a cooling machine 301 a fixedly connected to one side of the tubular reactor 201 b , and a liquid collector 301 b fixedly connected to one side of the cooling machine 301 a .

[0049] During operation, the gas cylinder contains H2 and SF6 waste gas, the carrier gas is Ar, and the SF6 waste gas is generally collected in the gas cylinder. During use, the gas in the gas cylinder is discharged through the solenoid valve, and the gas line can be shut off. When using the device, first open the main valve of the carrier gas cylinder, the initial absolute pressure is about 0.1Mpa, and then open the solenoid valve to release the gas, allowing the gas to enter the gas distribution and mixing device. After the gas distribution is completed, the mixed gas is introduced into the photothermal combined reactor 200. In the reaction device, the heating device is composed of a tubular reactor 201b and a quartz tube 201a. The reactor mainly provides the temperature required for the reaction. The gas can react within the temperature range of 100-900°C through the quartz tube 201a in the reactor, and an ultraviolet light source is provided inside the reaction device to provide ultraviolet light irradiation for the reaction. After passing through the photothermal combined reactor 200, the high-temperature gas will be discharged into the cooling device to prevent the high-temperature gas from damaging the experimental equipment. After the cooling is completed, the liquefied gas will also be collected by the liquid device, and the gas will also be discharged into the drying device to dry the remaining gas. After the gas is processed, it will be introduced into the SF6 concentration detector 302b, which can intuitively reflect the degree of SF6 degradation. After the processing is completed, the tail gas will be collected and processed.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, provides a device and method for degrading sulfur hexafluoride of 304 stainless steel by combining light and heat, including the following contents:

[0052] S1. Each gas cylinder is connected to a gas distribution and mixing device through a solenoid valve. Gas is distributed in the gas distribution and mixing device, and the mixed gas is introduced into the photothermal combined reactor 200 for full reaction;

[0053] S2. After the reaction is completed, the gas after the reaction is passed into the cooling device to prevent the high temperature gas from damaging the experimental equipment. After the cooling is completed, the liquefied gas will be collected by the liquid collection device, and the remaining gas will be dried and then tested for SF6 concentration;

[0054] S3, the treated gas is passed into the tail gas collection device for treatment;

[0055] S4. After the device is finished running, it should be shut down in the order of gas circuit first and then circuit. First close the main valve of the SF6 gas cylinder, and then close the solenoid valve. Wait for a few minutes to allow the reaction device to completely degrade the remaining SF6 mixed gas before turning off the power. Finally, close the valve of the carrier gas to ensure that the carrier gas washes the remaining SF6 gas in the gas pipe and the reaction device.

[0056] After the device is finished running, it should also be closed in the order of gas circuit first and then circuit. Because there is an uncertain reaction device in the middle of the device, only the gas circuit closing situation of the device is described here. First, the main valve of the SF6 gas cylinder should be closed, and then the solenoid valve should be closed. After that, wait for a few minutes and wait for the reaction device to completely degrade the remaining SF6 mixed gas before turning off the power. Note that the gas circuit of the carrier gas should be closed last, because the carrier gas needs to clean the remaining SF6 gas in the gas pipe and the reaction device. Finally, close the valve of the carrier gas, and the closing order is consistent with the SF6 gas circuit.

[0057] Importantly, it should be noted that the construction and arrangement of the present application shown in a plurality of different exemplary embodiments are only exemplary.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
