Description

Be used to form the method and apparatus of non-isothermal plasma jet
Technical field
The present invention relates to by close on atmospheric pressure control the non-isothermal plasma jet generation method and realize the device of this method.
Background technology
The generation of plasma jet is relevant with the material switch technology, and especially with plasma chemical, more particularly the destruction with product, waste material is relevant.
In the practice, especially industrial and be used in particular for destroying the isothermal plasma generator that family, medical treatment, industry and the known and the most the most frequently used plasma generator of otherwise waste material are employing direct current, alternating current and high frequency, microwave.
" isothermal " means that plasma different component, especially the temperature T e than the temperature T a of heavy particle (molecule, atom, base and ion) and electronics are in fact equal.According to definition, no matter, possess following condition its volume which point,
Te=Ta [1]
Then plasma is an isothermal.
The plasma that above-mentioned generator produces all is isothermal usually.It means that the chemical reaction that plasma takes place is the local thermodynamic equilibrium reaction by for example famous Arrhenius (Arrhenius) rule regulation.The concentration of component of isothermal plasma is determined by known Saha (saha) equation usually.
If accelerate plasma electronics and cause that in plasma the excitation and the electric field strength of ionization reaction raise abundantly, plasma can be changed into non-isothermal, that is:
Te>Ta [2]
In order to produce relation (2), electric field strength E need be obeyed this class condition (plasma light current from situation):
E>k.T a.n e.Q/e [3]
Wherein, e is electron charge (e=1,610 -19C)
K is Boltzmann constant (k=1,410 -19J/K)
Ta is the temperature of the heavier component (molecule, base, atom, ion) of plasma;
Q is the effective cross-section (m of elastic collision between the electronics of plasma and the neutral component 2);
n eBe the concentration (m of free electron -3)
If Ta ~ 2000K, ne ~ 10 + 19M- 3,Q ~ 10- 18m 2, E is then arranged〉and 2.10 4V/m.
Under the non-isothermal state, the practical application of plasma may be favourable technically.For example be used for the situation that above-mentioned waste material is destroyed.In fact, in this case, the electronics with huge kinetic energy helps forming anakmetomeres and base (state of molecular state that is stimulated and base forms), and is especially effective especially to destroying organic molecule.
In the prior art, especially relating to prior art that waste material destroys has brought with traditional incinerating method to the user and has compared more effective plasma technology, above-mentioned plasma technology is under atmospheric pressure, utilize the plasma fluid generator as the arc generator of supplying with direct current, alternating current, wireless frequency or microwave of isothermal (that is, in thermodynamic equilibrium state).
According to formation condition, the temperature grade of this plasma is 6000~12000K.
This obviously plasma is effective to destroying most of organic molecule of forming described waste material.It is effective too for destroying non-organic molecule.
Follow plasma quenching (stoping the quick coolings of the states reorganization of a lot of harmful molecule, especially dioxin and furans) method, compare with the traditional hot chemical technology, these technology are proved to be more and (for example have superiority, see also ZhukovM.F.Izv.S.O.AN USSR, Ser.Techn.Nauk, 197U, VI (8) P 12-18; Burov I.S., Ermolaeva E.M., Mosse A.L., Minsk ITMO 1975, p.71-78; Equally can be) referring to www.europlasma.com.
But the temperature levels of being mentioned (6000-12000K) is unnecessary.If we under atmospheric pressure use isothermal plasma, because temperature levels (T=Ta=Te) can be defined as the electron concentration of needs the conductivity of plasma, above-mentioned conductivity has been guaranteed the energy balance of electric arc with the plasma jet that is produced, so this temperature levels is necessary.But temperature levels is unnecessary to the plasma chemical reaction that realizes waste material destruction to be solved.This temperature levels makes and uses isothermal plasma generator itself to produce huge energy consumption, makes people suspect.Although it is better to compare the isothermal plasma jet, be to use especially cheap, volume is big and the tradition incineration technology of inefficient filter technology is still current solution.
Therefore, acceptable solution is to utilize non-isothermal plasma, the temperature levels of its heavier component (Ta) grade should be 2000-2500K, this temperature grade is for realizing that the chemical reaction of being pursued is enough, for example, it is essential for destroying waste material but do not form harmful chemical constituent, but when electron temperature grade during at 6000-12000K, it has guaranteed to support discharge mechanism and the required enough electric currents of plasma jet energy balance.
The non-isothermal plasma generator is suggested and is protected by patent, and in new industry, be employed (for example referring to Engelsht V.S., Saichenko A.N., Okopnik G.M., Musin N.U.XI Vsesoyuznaya Konf.Po generatoram nizkotemperaturnoyplazmi, Novosibirsk, 1989; P 255; Desiatkov G.A., Enguelsht V.S., Saichenko A.N., Plasma Jets in the Development of NewMaterials Technology.Proc.Of the International Workshop 3-9September such as Musin N.U., Frunze, USSR Ed.O.P.Solonenko, A.I.Fedorchenko.VSP, Utrecht, (NL), Tokyo (Japan), pp 499-509; Also can be) referring to www.glidarc.com.
Above-mentioned generator is based on the application of electric arc in the principle of sliding between two electrodes at different geometries under the high voltage.Be subjected to the immediate each other locational discharge excitation of electrode, electromagnetic force because of the magnetic field generation, the length that electric arc promotes these electrodes to, wherein above-mentioned magnetic field by producing at electric current that flows through on the electrode and the electric current that on electric arc, in fact flows through along direction of principal axis perpendicular to these electrodes.Further, electric Arc Motion may be to be excited by the longitudinal air flow that promotes gas, and said flow helps at electrode downstream formation plasma jet.Along with electric arc slides gradually, its length and reactance increase, but current strength reduces.A little less than electrorheological gets too sometime, so that can not support the energy balance of discharging, and electric arc disappears.Therefore, new discharge is that electrode is newly exciting of basis, and its process is carried out repeatedly.Therefore, move to electric arc eternal " back and forth " along the length of electrode.In this motion, electric arc forms " plasma cloud " around it, and what the characteristic of this plasma cloud, especially life cycle depended on the characteristic that produces the gas of discharge therein, gas flow mechanics flux exists the voltage amplitude level between situation, the electrode and the different geometries of electrode.This plasma cloud can be guaranteed in its life cycle under the currentless situation, the existence in electric conductor zone.If the cycle of plasma surpasses the interval that potential pulse is separated between these electrodes, then can not only direct current be supplied with electric arc, also pulse current can be supplied with electric arc, especially, also can supply with alternating current, for example alternating current of 50Hz to slip electric arc.
These slip electric arcs are formed by supply direct current, generator single-phase and three-phase alternating current.Supplying with under the three-phase alternating current situation, the solution of three electrodes or six electrodes is in industrial proposition and realization.Propose to use three electrodes and six electrodes (referring to Engelsht V.S., Gurovich V.Ts., Desyatkov G.A., Musin N.U., Saitchenko A.N.Experimentalinvestigation and application of the high-voltage low-current arc in gasflow.20th ICPIG.-Barga, 1991-P.978-919) be zone for the unified as far as possible plasma that is generated, this is because the big collection that this plasma does not have thermodynamical equilibrium and therefore comprises the molecule and the base of metastable state.The potential energy of these molecules (non-thermal effect), and be not only the particle that its power capacity (thermal effect) can decompose these materials, to destroy by plasma.
Method of being mentioned and generator have following shortcoming, make it be difficult in practice use, or reduce its usefulness significantly:
1. the plasma jet that is generated is spatially inhomogeneous;
2. the plasma unstable that is generated;
3. can not control method and parameter thereof;
4. limited (dwindling) size in plasma zone;
5. plasma generates the zone and is subjected to electrode restriction (existence of electrode has hindered formation range in the plasma zone).
The fact that the electric arc that slides in the definition is made steady motion may be bad, because it has determined the unsteadiness of the inhomogeneities on the space with the plasma that is generated.
The above-mentioned author who mentions (Desyatkov etc.) has also proposed a kind of configuration of electrode, in case electric arc arrives the end of electrode, and the position of fixed arc spatially just.Therefore, on the one hand, the electric current line is subjected to promoting the pulling force of air-flow and electromagnetic force and bending, on the other hand, is subjected to keeping in the highest zone of the ionization degree in space the electric arc mobilization force resistance of its position and bending.
This solution has advantage than slip electric arc scheme.But experimental work shows electric arc and by the plasma jet instability of its generation.This unsteadiness is mainly caused by the mixed and disorderly characteristic that promotes air-flow.
In addition, consider that the plasma jet length that is generated is shorter, be difficult to that especially electrode changes, and comes the work of treatment of objective for implementation by avoiding not making the parts of generator by the jet of process object reflection.Therefore, wish that very plasma jet should be obviously longer.But, according to prior art, it is impossible prolonging plasma jet, because in the prior art, the raising of considering power loss in practice with the jet size square, approach the square proportional of spheroid form, therefore the input power of this generator, energy efficiency improves seldom.
Summary of the invention
Under aforementioned background, a technical problem to be solved of the present invention is that design is closing under atmospheric pressure or the superatmospheric pressure, a kind of generation method of stable non-isothermal plasma jet, it can use in better mode, thereby especially at waste material, particularly organic waste materials is destroyed or the regeneration field, in industrial realization plasma chemical reaction.
An advantage is in the uniform non-isothermal plasma jet of plasma chemical reactor space utilization generation method.
Be more preferably equally in that plasma chemical is handled during all and stablely at any time utilize non-plasma plasma jet generation method.
Equally better use plasma jet with elongate form, and therefore on the relationship essence of length and diameter above linear module.The non-isothermal plasma jet of good utilisation layering equally more increases its length in the mode of the energy exchange by whole restrictions and environmental gas center.
A bigger advantage is: according to the composition of supply gas component, shape, characteristic and treated substance, all technology all can be guaranteed variable control and treatment.
Owing to closing under the atmospheric pressure, generate the non-isothermal plasma jet, all purposes of the present invention all can realize.According in air-flow by under the assistance of the direct current of single-phase or three-phase or the discharge of electricity under the alternating current high voltage, generate the method for non-isothermal plasma axisymmetric jet, this discharge triggers by puncturing plasma, the pulling force that applies by electromagnetic force with by air-flow promotes and is limited at the end of electrode, it is characterized in that: promote discharge plasma air-flow resulting plasma jet to have a few all be stable, the speed V* relevant with gas, have a few the obedience type of relationship in the institute that promotes stream:

Embodiment
The principle of proposed method is:
Suggestion is used jet generation method as the basis, this jet generation method is to supply with under high voltage in air-flow under the discharge help of direct current or single-phase or three-phase alternating current, the method of the axisymmetric jet of non-isothermal plasma, this discharge triggers by puncturing plasma, and by electromagnetic force and the end that promotes and be limited at electrode by the pulling force that air-flow applies.
Plasma in this jet is in the non-isothermal state as formula [1]-[3] definition, and this non-isothermal state is a major advantage of the present invention.But, under existing the application, the plasma jet that is generated is mixed and disorderly, in practice, the advantage of non-isothermal plasma is not utilized, because energy exchange in mixed and disorderly plasma is strong excessively, these energy can't be used: the energy of the energy of electronics, be stimulated particle and the final free radical that forms and be in metastable state, energy are all by " waste " and heat dissipation.
But the present invention can utilize these principal advantages by the be excited state of particle of limit thermal dissipation on the contrary and optimum utilization.
The present invention is by applying work in order to the stable plasma jet to the air-flow of supplying with and promote plasma jet.Stability mainly is the feature of hydromechanics.This stability is to organize all points of air-flow that surround and promote plasma jet in following condition: convective exchange is eliminated, only exists molecule to dissipate, and especially exists when heat conduction and diffusion.The present inventor's experience shows:
The relative velocity V* of gas, promote stream have a few and should satisfy this class empirical relation:
r*<D*:V*(r*)=l [1]
D*≤r*≤l:V*(r*)=1-cos[π(r*-1)/2(D*-1)] [2]
Should satisfy the stable condition of flowing dynamics:
V≤Re*.η/ρ.D [3]
Wherein,
D*=D/D 0;r*=2r/D 0
D and D 0Be respectively the external diameter of jet and the diameter (D≤D of stability region 0);
R is the radius by the jet point of flowing velocity V decision;
V 0Be the speed of stratified flow;
Re* is the critical Reynolds number of stable flow;
η and ρ are respectively dynamic viscosity and the density that promotes gas, and this gas promotes under the temperature and pressure that promotes stream.
According to critical Reynolds number Re*, we know that stream changes the value of the Reynolds number of turbulence state into from stratification state in spontaneous mode.For the ducted stream of axial symmetry, this value is known and the order of magnitude is 2000.Experience shows that this spontaneous transformation is by the speed difference between contiguous fluid layer, the gradient by described speed decides more accurately.The present inventor's experience can imagine that with its affirmation for the base flow of high speed and qualification size, even Reynolds number has substantially exceeded 2000, the attribute of exchange still remains on the molecule level.The present inventor is called pseudo-layering with such stream.The present inventor observes this puppet layering, and Reynolds number (formal calculating) can reach 100000.For the stream that is wrapped in the liquid " shell " is enough, and stream changes in single mode in liquid " shell ", and action mode is the zero-speed under the velocity amplitude, the especially static situation that slide to ambient flow from the central speed value of elementary streams.In addition, experience shows in order to make stream for pseudo-layering, the velocity gradient of the stream in the zone line is equalled zero on the border of intermediate flow and elementary streams and ambient flow.
The Re* value may be only by the experiment decision.The work that the inventor implemented shows in fact Re* ~ 1,5.10 4This conclusion may be applicable to the device of this method of realization of mentioning among the configuration of the plasma jet that all are mentioned and the present invention.For other configurations, in order to remain on the field that the present invention uses, before determining to utilize the parameter and rule of plasma jet, need known, classical hydromechanics method is carried out on the device that is adopted, to determine Re* by rule of thumb, afterwards, select the value of V according to formula [3].
The present inventor's experience shows that when plasma line or electric arc were flowed through in pseudo-stratified flow, near the pseudo-stratified condition the plasma line was met actually automatically, and the plasma line does not disturb mutually.And the exchange between the stream keeps layering.
In order to make plasma line (even its axis has the direction vertical with the flow path direction of walking around it) do not promoted flow disturbance, stream is the just enough of pseudo-layering.
Relation [1]-[3] are the concrete instances that realizes the present invention's pseudo-stratified condition required for protection.Therefore, particularly, the present invention can make the energy exchange between plasma jet and the surrounding medium minimize.That some examples show is stable, pseudo-layering plasma jet may be very long.Therefore, might control and optimize the shape and the energy loss thereof of jet with the heat exchange of optimizing jet and the electric charge (charge) of processed material and mode that total amount exchanges.
For example, might best example be to adopt and the vertical magnetic field of the sense of current of flowing through the plasma line that generates plasma jet.Electromagnetic force causes the electric arc rotation, and this electric arc is rotated in the energy exchange of non-isothermal plasma jet internal excitation.
The rotation of non-isothermal plasma jet can excite energy exchange formation plasma-vortex to obtain in plasma jet by introducing the promotion air-flow at a certain angle equally.
Can be by with respect to discharging current direction (flowing through alternating current), the direction that applies along magnetic field, applying a magnetic field in each electrode, make the plasma line near or change the shape of plasma line away from jet axis.The shape of jet can be amplified or shorten in the stationary magnetic field.
In case plasma jet is stablized (pseudo-layering), by energy exchange intensity and the isoionic formation of non-isothermal around the decision plasma line, the effect that shape stable and pseudo-layering (velocity conditions that promotes gas is formed), electromagnetism rotation, hydromechanics rotation, compression or plasma line stretches, the speed of binding plasma jet is good.Wherein, above-mentioned stretching can provide the introducing mist (to comprise by contacting with the non-isothermal plasma in the non-isothermal plasma jet, be decomposed into the component of movable particle) possibility, and make the energized condition and the combination of these gases, especially to convergence the best of the favourable free radical of the reorganization of the destruction of organic molecule and for example useful constituent as biogas.
Fig. 1 shows the principle of device of the present invention.
Fig. 1 a shows as in fact using and the user repeatedly takes the acquisition, by the mixed and disorderly feature of the plasma lines 2 of electrode 1 generation of the standard set-up of the vortex flow of supply gas.Can see that electrode 1 is with uncertain on room and time, unsettled form emission plasma line 2.Plasma zone 3 around the line is unstable on time and space equally.This configuration has limited the application of the plasma of the type greatly, and it can not be known as plasma jet.
Fig. 1 b shows the principle result who uses the device that distributes the flow that promotes gas.Plasma lines 2 is stable.Plasma jet 4 is assigned with gas jet 5 encirclements that device 6 produces.It is stable and configuration uniformly.
Fig. 1 c has provided the principle contrast of above-mentioned two kinds of situations mentioning: plasma lines 2, plasma zone 3 significantly elongate than the situation of standard set-up and length on longer.Produce stable plasma jet 4 by gas jet 5.
Generally speaking, realize that the device of generation method of stable as defined in the present invention non-isothermal plasma jet is by shown in Figure 2.Form is placed between two electrodes 1 for the discharge 2 of the plasma line of in fact constant part under high voltage, and these two electrodes are parallel or differ special angle with respect to the symmetry axis of generator, and it is connected with AC power 9 with metal cone 8 by Metallic rod 7.Metal cone links to each other with electric power system by capacitor 10, and removable its length, so that the variable in distance that itself and Metallic rod are separated.
The supply gas of promotion and stable non-isothermal plasma jet 4 is introduced by the conduit 11 with collecting main 12, sieve grid 13 and flow (speed) distributor 14.
Collecting main comes supply gas by entry conductor 15.The component of the water droplet form of gas, liquid or injection can be added in the air-flow by conduit 16.
Flow distributor 14 can be used for being predetermined and controlling the radial distribution of air flow rate.As shown in Figure 2, it can constitute the set of particularly disposing with the such narrow tube of honeycomb.The length situation decision of these pipes is with the situation of the dynamics impedance of the emission radius change of distributor.It can set up the speed conditions 17(V (r) that the stability that is predetermined air-flow also is predetermined the stability of the stream that generates plasma thus).Thus, can form air-flow, its diameter is that the core 18 of D has constant speed, is subjected to diameter D 0(19) Xian Zhi periphery has the radially situation that is predetermined.Experience shows that this stream has all phenomenons and the feature of stratified flow.When this stream surrounded plasma lines, it made plasma lines become stable.The exchange of this jet inside (zone 4) is the molecule exchange, and its concentration is lower than the concentration of eddy current exchange in fact.Especially, the exchange of heat exchange and total amount is by thermoelectric conductance and middle diffusion decision, and can't help heat exchange and mixed and disorderly total amount exchange decision.Therefore, more weak on the intensity, bigger on the area.It can obtain large scale, and especially longer plasma jet that is to say, plasma can be delivered to farther distance, and can not lose the feature that is determined (enthalpy) that Fig. 1 c represents.
On the other hand, according to device of the present invention, it is characterized in that: the device (14) that forms the speed conditions that promotes air-flow is the axial symmetry system of coaxitron, this coaxitron disposes in the honeycomb mode and the conduction holding components by electrode vertically runs through, and tubular axis and the stream length of pipe parallel with the axle of stream and the local speed of air-flow are inversely proportional to.
Bar 7 makes up to show minimum stream mechanical impedance form, so that air-flow local interference airflow characteristic only.
Support passes the heat release of carrying out because of the metallic region of electron charge in gas (electronics discharges automatically) and the electrode 1 that unavoidably suffers erosion can be by air-flow (in the case, can be shown in Fig. 2 b, electrode 1 can connect by the gas groove 20 through it) or current are (in the case, can be shown in Fig. 2 c, electrode 1 is by current 21 processes) cool off.
Can replace by the main body 35 after vertical Milling Process as shown in Figure 10 at the metal cone 8 that triggers discharge between the electrode, can reduce the impedance of hydromechanics thus.If metal cone 8 is replaced by the radially sheet metal (36) that is fixed on the electrode, the distance that this sheet metal is designed between the sheet is minimum in the uppermost electrode part of gas axial flow, and then this structure shown in Figure 10 also can be less.
Device is operation in the following manner: when discharge triggers, put the electric arc of raking up sb.'s faults between cone 8 and bar 7.
By promoting by electromagnetic force with around the gas-flow resistance of plasma lines 2, plasma lines 2 moves to the right, arrives electrode 1, and 22 is fixed to its end in the position.Its stable form is decided by the balance between power above-mentioned and the thermal resistance drag, and this thermal resistance drag restriction electric arc occupies the pipeline of setting up after the ionization, but not moves at unionized near zone.Near plasma lines, formed stable and uniform non-isothermal plasma zone 4: occurrence condition (2) and (3).The temperature of the plasma composition that this is regional and the value of concentration and gradient (Ta, Te) by molecule exchange (heat conduction, disperse and conductivity) decision, and the scope in the non-isothermal plasma zone of decision jet.
