Abstract
A water treatment apparatus using a plasma reactor and a method of water treatment are disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing having a polluted water inlet and a polluted water outlet; a plurality of beads filled into the interior of the housing; a pair of electrodes, one of the electrodes contacting with the bottom of the housing, another of the electrodes contacting an upper portion of the uppermost beads; and a pulse generator connected with the electrodes by a power cable for generating pulses.
Claims19
A plasma reactor, comprising:
- a housing having a polluted water inlet, a polluted water outlet and an air inlet hole;
- a plurality of beads disposed in the interior of the housing, said beads being selected from the group consisting of a ferro dielectric material, a photocatalytic acryl material, a photocatalytic polyethylene material, a photocatalytic nylon material, and a photocatalytic glass material;
- a pair of electrodes, one of said electrodes contacting the bottom of the housing, another of said electrodes contacting an upper portion of the uppermost beads;
- and
- a pulse generator connected with the electrodes.
A water treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a polluted water gathering tank for gathering and storing a polluted water introduced thereinto;
- a plurality of plasma reactors connected with the polluted water gathering tank by first connection tube for processing the pollutants contained in the polluted water using a plasma wherein at least one of the plasma reactors comprises a housing with an interior and a plurality of beads filled in the interior of the housing;
- a pulse generator for generating pulses so that a plasma is generated by the plasma reactor;
- a storing tank for storing the polluted water processed by the plasma reactor and introduced thereinto through a second connection tube;
- and
- a return tube connected between the polluted water gathering tank and storing tank.
A water treatment method, comprising the steps of:
- storing a polluted water containing pollutants into a polluted water gathering tank;
- processing the pollutants contained in the polluted water by flowing the polluted water one or a plurality of plasma reactors wherein at least one of the plasma reactors comprises a housing with an interior and a plurality of beads filled in the interior of housing and an air inlet hole formed in a lower portion of the housing;
- and
- gathering the first processed polluted water into a storing tank and discharging the same to the outside.
