Title: Innovations of Richard J Raridon in Plasma Technology
Introduction
Richard J Raridon is a notable inventor based in Oak Ridge, TN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of plasma technology, particularly in the area of exhaust gas aftertreatment. With a total of 2 patents, Raridon's work focuses on enhancing catalyst reactivity through innovative methods.
Latest Patents
Raridon's latest patents include a method for generating a highly reactive plasma for exhaust gas aftertreatment. This method involves non-thermal plasma aftertreatment of exhaust gases, which comprises providing short risetime, high frequency, and high power bursts of low-duty factor microwaves. These bursts are sufficient to generate a plasma discharge, allowing the gas to be treated through the discharge. This process leads to the dissociative reduction of exhaust gases and enhances catalyst reactivity by applying pulsed microwave fields directly to the catalyst material. The invention also includes a reactor designed for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases.
Another patent by Raridon details a similar method for generating a highly reactive plasma, focusing on non-thermal plasma aftertreatment. This method also involves providing short risetime (about 40 ps), high frequency (about 5 GHz), and high power bursts of low-duty factor microwaves. The invention includes a reactor for generating the non-thermal plasma, further showcasing Raridon's innovative approach to improving exhaust gas treatment.
