PLASMA REACTOR FOR THE PLASMA-CHEMICAL AND/OR PLASMA-CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF COMPOUNDS, AND USE OF A PLASMA REACTOR

What is described and illustrated is a plasma reactor for the plasma-chemical and/or plasma-catalytic conversion of compounds in a reactor fluid by way of dielectric barrier discharge, comprising two electrodes that are separated from one another at least by a dielectric and, at least in sections, by at least one reaction channel to be flowed through by the reactor fluid, wherein the reaction channel is designed to be flowed through, by the reactor fluid, at least substantially parallel to a longitudinal extent of the reactor. In order to be able to scale up the plasma reactor easily, quickly and inexpensively and also to be able to treat relatively large volumetric flows of reactor fluids in the plasma reactor, provision is made for the electrodes and the dielectric to be wound around the longitudinal extent of the reactor in a spiral shape.
