The invention relates to a
dielectric barrier
discharge-sliding arc coupled
plasma reaction device and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
plasma chemistry and efficient utilization of
methane resources. The reaction device comprises a tubular reaction cavity, a high-
voltage electrode arranged in the reaction cavity and a grounding
electrode arranged on the outer side of the reaction cavity, and a
dielectric barrier
discharge structure is formed between the high-
voltage electrode and the grounding electrode through the wall of the reaction cavity; at least two bent electrode parts which are arranged at intervals are arranged at the lower end of the high-
voltage electrode, and gliding arc
discharge is formed under the flowing action of reaction gas, so that
dielectric barrier discharge and gliding arc discharge are simultaneously generated in the same reaction cavity. Through the
coupling discharge mode, the synergistic effect of the high-
energy density plasma and the large-volume uniform plasma is realized, and the activation efficiency and the reaction regulation and control capability of low-carbon
alkane molecules can be effectively improved. The device is simple in structure and stable in operation, can be cooperatively used with a catalyst, and is used for plasma catalytic conversion and related reaction processes.
