Abstract
The present invention relates to a plasma reactor and more specifically to an plasma microreactor comprising a support, made at least partially of a dielectric material, the support comprising a gas inlet, a liquid inlet, at least a fluid outlet, a liquid microchannel in the support, a gas channel, at least a ground electrode, at least a high voltage electrode, separated from the gas channel by the dielectric material of the support, wherein said ground electrode and said high voltage electrode are arranged on opposite sides of the gas channel so as to be able to create an electric field inside the gas channel, wherein the liquid microchannel and the gas channel are contiguous and at least an opening is arranged between the liquid microchannel and the gas channel so as to form a fluid channel and to cause the liquid flow contact the gas flow and wherein the liquid flow is retained within the liquid microchannel by capillarity action.
