Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for plasma processing a gaseous medium comprising a processing chamber (2) provided with an envelop (6) having a tapered internal surface (8) which tapers down away from the top end (9) towards the lower end (10) of the processing chamber (2) in which a tapered central rod (11) longitudinally extends and at least four radial partitions (15) forming at least four resonance cavities which have an electric contact (17) with the internal surface (8) of the first chamber (2) and support a perforated cylinder (19) coaxially disposed in the first chamber (2) around the central rod (11) and in which a first electrical phase (59) supplies a high tension alternate current for feeding the envelop (6) of the first processing chamber (2). A method for using said device and the use thereof, in particular for processing exhaust gases of a motor vehicle are also disclosed.
