Patent ID: 8053992

Claim:
A plasma reactor comprising: a honeycomb electrode that is formed of a conductive material and functions as an electrode, a plurality of cells that function as gas passages and are partitioned by a partition wall being formed in the honeycomb electrode, the plurality of cells forming a first gas circulation section that allows a first gas to pass through, and a second gas circulation section that allows a second gas to pass through to supply heat of the second gas to the first gas circulation section to promote a reaction of the first gas; and a discharge electrode that is disposed to face the honeycomb electrode, a plasma discharge occurring between the discharge electrode and the honeycomb electrode so that the first gas undergoes a reaction, the first gas introduced into the first gas circulation section of the honeycomb electrode from a space between the discharge electrode and the honeycomb electrode being reacted by causing a plasma discharge between the honeycomb electrode and the discharge electrode, and the second gas being introduced into the second gas circulation section of the honeycomb electrode to transfer heat of the second gas to the first gas circulation section to promote the reaction of the first gas.
