Abstract:
An electrical discharge plasma reactor system for treating a liquid, a gas, and/or a suspension. The reactor system includes a reactor chamber configured to hold the liquid and a gas, a discharge electrode disposed within the gas of the reactor chamber, a non-discharge electrode disposed within the liquid, a gas diffuser disposed within the liquid and configured to induce the generation of a layer of foam on the surface of the liquid in a plasma-contact region, and a power supply connected to the discharge electrode and configured to induce the discharge electrode to generate plasma in the plasma-contact region.
Abstract:
A barrel reactor (100) comprises a rotatable barrel (102); a first roller (110) located outside of the barrel (102) and arranged to facilitate rotation of the barrel, wherein the roller (110) comprises at least part of a first electrode; and a second electrode (120). A plasma is formed between the electrodes (110, 120). The second electrode (120) may also comprise a roller and the barrel (102) may be mounted on the rollers (110, 120). The spacing between, or positions of, the electrodes (110, 120) may be adjusted so as to accommodate different barrels (102) and/or to change the plasma distribution within the barrel (102).

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for the production of an alcohol such as methanol generally include reacting methane with water. The methane can be obtained from collecting the byproduct of various human-implemented process or methane released from naturally occurring processes. Additional steps can be taken to produce ammonia from the products of the reaction of methane and water. Both methanol and ammonia can be used as liquid energy storage fuels that, when subjected for further reactions, can produce hydrogen suitable for use as a fuel in various applications.

Abstract:
A process for producing NO gas from a feed flow of air or oxygen enriched air, by means of moving an electric arc through the air flow by using a magnetic field and AC or DC currents, in a reactor, wherein a pressure lower than 1 bar is applied, wherein the temperature in the exited arc is adjusted to be within the range of 3000 to 5000 Kelvin, and wherein the air flow is quenched by applying a spray of fine water droplets upstream or just downstream the arc, excess air feed or bypassed air to obtain a stable NO-containing plasma having a temperature below 2000 Kelvin.
Abstract:
The application discloses methods of processing particulate carbon material, such as graphitic particles or agglomerates of carbon nanoparticles such as CNTs. The starting material is agitated in a treatment vessel in the presence of low-pressure (glow) plasma generated between electrodes, e.g. between a central electrode and an outer rotating conductive drum containing the material for treatment. Preferably the material is agitated in the presence of conductive contact bodies such as metal balls, or other contact formations with relatively high specific surface area, on the surface of which plasma glow is present and amongst which the material to be treated moves. The methods are found to effectively deagglomerate nanoparticles, and to exfoliate graphitic material to produce very thin (few- layer or monolayer) graphitic sheets showing graphene-type characteristics. The resulting deaggregated or exfoliated carbon nanomaterials are an aspect of the disclosure, as is their use dispersed in composite materials, e.g. conductive polymeric composites for electric or electronic articles and devices. The particle surfaces can be functionalised by choosing appropriate gas in which to form the plasma. The invention is advantageous in using safe, dry and moderate conditions to achieve a high degree of deaggregation or exfoliation compared with previous aggressive chemical methods such as acid treatment.
