Abstract：Plasma is the fourth state of matter, in which a large quantity of highly active species can enhance the conventional chemical reactions and show non-conventional effect of external field. On one hand, plasmas change the fluid properties at atomic/molecular scale; on the other hand, the phase contact behaviors are alternated at meso-scale, which forms unique features of fluid dynamics, transport phenomena and reactions in multiphase flows. This work gives an overview on the fundamental study and industrial development of low-temperature plasma assisted multiphase reactive processes, including coal pyrolysis to acetylene in thermal plasma, gas-solid catalysis, CPVC synthesis and gas-liquid reaction in cold plasmas.
