Abstract
The apparatus for decomposing PFCs includes an external electrode unit which is coupled to a reference voltage and which defines a flow space for the flow of the PFCs, and an internal electrode unit which is located within the flow space of the external electrode unit so as to define a reaction space between the internal electrode unit and the external electrode unit. The apparatus is also equipped with a voltage supply unit which applies an alternating voltage to the internal electrode unit which is of sufficient voltage and frequency to generate an electron beam within the reaction space which is capable of decomposing the PFCs.
