A workpiece processing apparatus S, which comprises: a plasma generator unit 6 including a plasma generation section 18 operable to plasmatize a given gas supplied thereto, and emit the plasmatized gas therefrom; and a transport mechanism 2 adapted to support a target workpiece W in a position beneath the plasma generation section 18, wherein the plasmatized gas is emitted onto the workpiece W to carry out a given processing. The workpiece processing apparatus S further includes a setup frame 4 adapted to set up the plasma generator unit 6 to allow the plasma generation section 18 to be located over the workpiece. The plasma generator unit 6 is mounted to the setup frame 4 in a manner capable of being drawn out of a setup position where the plasma generation section 18 is positioned over the workpiece W, in a horizontal direction.

Disclosed is a plasma generation apparatus, which comprises a microwave generation section adapted to generate a microwave, a gas supply section adapted to supply a gas to be plasmatized, a plasma generation nozzle which is provided with an inner electrode adapted to receive the microwave and an outer electrode concentrically disposed outside the inner electrode, and adapted to plasmatize the gas supplied from the gas supply section thereinto, based on energy of the microwave, and emit the plasmatized gas from a distal end thereof; and an adapter attached to the distal end of the plasma generation nozzle. In the plasma generation apparatus, the inner and outer electrodes of the plasma generation nozzle are disposed to allow a glow discharge to be induced therebetween so as to plasmatize the gas in a space defined therebetween, and, according to a new supply of the gas into the space, emit the plasmatized gas under atmospheric pressures from a ring-shaped spout of the space in the distal end of the plasma generation nozzle. The adapter is adapted to convert the ring-shaped spout to a lengthwise spout thereof.

Disclosed are a plasma generator and a workpiece processing apparatus, wherein an adapter 38 is attached to a distal end of each of a plurality of plasma generation nozzles 31 to convert a spot-shaped spout port of the plasma generation nozzle 31 to a lengthwise sport port 387, and a cover member 93 is provided to cover the plasma generation nozzles 31 so as to allow a narrow space to be defined between the cover member 93 and a workpiece, whereby plasma spouted from the spout port 387 is retained in the space in such a manner as to hit against and rebound from the workpiece into the space. This makes it possible to subject a workpiece having a relatively large surface area to plasma exposure in a uniform manner, while suppressing cooling of plasma in the space to allow the plasma to survive for a relatively long period of time (reduce a plasma disappearance rate) so as to provide enhanced efficiency of plasma exposure.
摘要:
A high concentration NO2 gas generating system including a circulating path configured by connecting a chamber, a plasma generator, and a circulating means, wherein NO2 is generated by circulating a gas mixture including nitrogen and oxygen in the circulating path is provided. The high concentration NO2 gas generating system provides a high concentration NO2 generating system and the high concentration NO2 generating method using the generating system by which NO2 of high concentration (approximately 500 ppm or above) required for a high level of sterilization process in such as sterilization of medical instruments can be simply and selectively obtained. In addition, since indoor air is used as an ingredient, the management of ingredients is simple and highly safe, and the high concentration of NO2 can be simply and selectively prepared on demand.

摘要:
By focusing on the fact that nitrogen dioxide exhibits an increased sterilizing effect among other sterilant gases including nitrogen oxide, the present invention is made to provide a sterilization method which may be suitably used for sterilizing items to be sterilized such as medical instruments which require increased reliability by using a high concentration NO2 gas of 5,000 ppm or above, for example. An inside of a sterilizing chamber containing an item to be sterilized is humidified, and a concentration of NO2 in the sterilizing chamber is made to be from 9 to 100 mg/L by filling a high concentration NO2 gas.
