    摘要: There is provided a dielectric barrier electrical discharge apparatus and corresponding system and method. The apparatus comprises: at least two electrodes arranged in use to provide at least one anode and at least one cathode, the at least two electrodes being separated to allow a fluid to be present between the electrodes in use, and at least one of the electrodes has a dielectric portion connected to at least part of said electrode; a sub-macroscopic structure connected to at least one of the at least two electrodes and/or to the dielectric portion; and a drive circuit connected to each of the at least two electrodes and arranged in use to establish an electric field between the electrodes, wherein in response to the presence of the electric field between the electrodes, the sub-macroscopic structure is arranged to field-emit electrons and electrical discharge is establishable between the dielectric portion and one of the at least two electrodes, and the drive circuit is further arranged to provide real power to the fluid in use.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods of scrubbing of gas by exposure to electrons and apparatuses therefor. Such methods and apparatuses could be used to reduce harmful emissions created by the burning of fossil fuels, e.g. to power ships. According to one aspect there is provided apparatus for electron irradiation scrubbing, said apparatus comprising: an anode; a cathode a nanostructure located between said anode and said cathode, said nanostructure being configured to field-emit electrons in response to the presence of an electric field between the anode and cathode when a potential difference is established therebetween; and a housing coupled to said nanostructure and configured for locating the nanostructure so that it extends into a container containing gas to be scrubbed such that an interior of said container can be exposed to said electrons. According to further aspects there are provided systems comprising such apparatus and methods making use of it.
