Abstract
The present invention provides a plasma reactor which can suppress deactivation of components (active components) activated by plasma when causing exhaust gas to flow through a plasma generating space to ensure efficient reaction between the active components and particulate matter, whereby the particulate matter can be efficiently purified via reaction. The plasma reactor includes a plasma reactor main body, a positive electrodedisposed on an inlet sideof the plasma reactor main body, a conductive honeycomb filterdisposed so that a filter inlet sidefaces an outlet sideof the plasma reactor main body, and a pulse power supplywhich is connected with the positive electrodeand the honeycomb filterand is capable of applying a pulse voltage between the positive electrodeand the honeycomb filteras plasma generating electrodes to generate plasma.
