Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and device for processing a gas by forming microwave plasmas of the gas. The gas that is to be processed is set in a two or three co-axial vortex flow inside the device and exposed to a microwave field to form the plasma in the inner co-axial vortex flow, which subsequently is expelled as a plasma afterglow through an outlet of the device. The device is provided with a microwave field choking effect by having a diameter of the exit channel larger than zero but smaller than 1/16 of the wavelength of the standing microwave within the microwave chamber and a length, ∈, of the exit channel that may correspondingly have one of the following ranges: from a factor larger than zero but smaller than (n+1/8), n G {0, 1, 2, 3}, of the wavelength of the standing microwave within the microwave chamber.
