Creation of linear DC plasma generator for pyrolysis/gasification of organic materials

An experimental linear direct current (DC) plasma generator, with stepped anode, stabilized with air/water vapor, argon/water vapor and argon/air vortexes operating at atmospheric pressure had been designed and constructed in Plasma Processing Laboratory at Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI, Kaunas). It was designed specially the innovative and environment-friendly plasma treatment of organic materials. Three different types of gas stabilization in plasma generator were experimentally investigated and their thermal and electrical characteristics were compared.
