| Description | Practical implementation of atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma activation of fine powder materials requires proper management of its transport through the active plasma zone. We present a new method for the powder transport, which takes advantage from the natural tendency of powders to concentrate outside the microfilament plasma channel. Two new HV electrodes designs were devised and consequently tested. To execute sequential powering, a dedicated rotating switch has been constructed. The paper is focused on technical aspects of the method and outlines the roadmap to its future development. |
