A generator for processing gases to be delivered to a process chamber used to process a substrate includes a housing that encloses an internal volume. An ultraviolet (UV) bulb is disposed within the internal volume of the housing. The UV bulb has a bulb diameter that fits within the internal major dimension of the housing. A first region, which surrounds the UV bulb, channels a first gas around the UV bulb to cool the UV bulb. A second region, which surrounds the first region, channels a second gas between an input to and an output from the housing. The second region is oriented relative to the UV bulb such that UV energy therefrom interacts with the second gas as this gas flows through the second region. The interaction of the UV energy with the second gas results in the generation of a gas mix that is supplied from the output of the housing into the process chamber, where at least one component of the gas mix is to be used in processing of the semiconductor substrate.

The present invention provides a feed gas feeding system for a propylene ammoxidation reactor. The feed gas feeding system comprises a feed gas mixing system and a feed distributor. A propylene and ammonia mixed gas is mixed by the feed gas mixing system and then uniformly distributed in the propylene ammoxidation reactor by means of the feed distributor, an initial temperature T0 when the propylene and ammonia mixed gas enters the feed distributor being 10-220° C. The propylene and ammonia feed gas feeding system of the present invention for ammoxidation of propylene and the preparation of acrylonitrile prevents the temperature of a gas mixture at any position in the propylene and ammonia feed distributor from reaching a temperature at which ammonia decomposes into active nitrogen atoms, thereby reducing a risk of brittle nitriding fractures of the propylene and ammonia distributor.

Plasma reactor and method of operating a plasma reactor

Номер: EP3548426A1
Автор: Olaf Kühl
Принадлежит: Ccp Technology GmbH

The problem addressed by the invention is that of providing a plasma reactor for decomposition of hydrocarbons which allows stable operation over a prolonged period. This problem is solved by a plasma reactor (1) for cracking a hydrocarbon fluid which comprises a reactor chamber (2) which is surrounded by a reactor wall (3, 3a, 3b) and comprises at least one hydrocarbon inlet (5) and an outlet (15). A plasma burner (7) having at least two electrodes which comprise at a first end a base part (9) is fixed to the reactor wall. The electrodes comprise at a second end a burner part (11) which projects into the reactor chamber and a plasma zone (13) is defined between the burner parts of adjacent electrodes. In a region between the plasma zone and the outlet the hydrocarbon inlet opens into the reactor chamber and the hydrocarbon inlet is aligned with respect to the plasma zone such that hydrocarbon fluid issuing therefrom is conducted towards the plasma zone. In the plasma reactor disclosed herein primarily small C particles are formed which prevent fouling/closing-up of the reactor chamber. Furthermore some large and heavy C particles which may statistically be formed penetrate the plasma cloud and can attach to the electrodes in targeted fashion.
