Active Species Generated by a Pulsed Arc Electrohydraulic Discharge Plasma Channel in Contaminated Water Treatments

Pulsed arc electrohydraulic discharge (PAED) direct plasma technique was applied for various types of contaminated water treatment. The experimental system consists of a spark-gap switch type pulse power supply (0.5 kJ/pulse) and a 3 L stainless steel reactor with eccentrically configured rod-to-rod electrodes. The current and voltage waveforms are fundamentally different for different conductivity water. Double pulse current discharges were observed for pond water with relatively higher conductivity (637 mS/m) while a single pulse current discharge was observed for lake water with relatively lower conductivity (78 mS/m). From the optical emission spectrum and UV dosimeters, UV-A, UV-B, excited molecules and radicals including N₂*, O, H, OH, O₃ etc. were observed during the discharge period. Both optical emission and UV intensities in pond water are slightly lower than lake water. The decay time of the UV-A, N₂*, OH, H and O radicals were around 0.6 ms, where the discharge period ended around 0.4 ms. The results indicate that the radicals existed longer than the discharge period. The pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity were changed during the course of PAED treatment. The ions and radicals such as H·, O·, H⁺, OH· etc. generated by PAED may cause alterations density decay time and the active species in water were present for a longer period. The reduction of total organic carbon (TOC) in pond water reached 80% after 5 min of PAED treatment. Based on local thermal plasma equilibrium (LTE) model, LTE thermal plasma chemical composition model for 1 mol water vapour was used to compare to present experiments. PAED discharge in contaminated pond water generated peak concentration of OH = 28% and O₂H = 0.012% mol in gas-phase and migrated to water-phase via gas–liquid interfaces generated by arc and micro-bubbles to form more stable O₃, H₂O₂, H₂ and O₂. The model suggested that the reduction of TOC occurred in gas/plasma phases or liquid-phase side of gas liquid interfaces.     

Degradation of Organic Contaminants in Water by Pulsed Corona Discharge

Degradation of organic contaminants in water by high-voltage pulse discharges was investigated. The effects of gas flow rate and liquid conductivity on the degradation of 4-chlorophenol were studied. With the increase of time, the liquid conductivity increases, which have an important effect on discharge. Meanwhile, with the increase of time, the concentration of H₂O₂ increases. Addition of 200 mg/L H₂O₂, the conversion of 4-chlorophenol was greatly enhanced. This may be due to the synergistic effect of high-voltage pulsed discharge and H₂O₂. Also, it was found that the influence of quantity of TiO₂or CuO on degradation of acetophenone is not apparent, maybe the presence of metal oxides hinders the formation of plasma channel due to increase of collusions between metal oxides and oxygen.

Synthesis and Studies on Surface Active Water Soluble Derivatives of Siloxane Oligomers

Abstract

We report the synthesis of cationic water-soluble siloxanes by reacting aminosiloxanes with dimethyl, n-dodecyl 3-chloro-2-hy-droxypropyl quaternary ammonium iodide (DDCQA). Tetramethyl disiloxane on hydrosilation with allyl amine in the presence of hex-achloroplatinic acid/IPA gave bis(3-aminopropyl) octamethyltetra-siloxane. In addition, formation of Si-H containing oligomeric siloxanes were detected during this reaction and the extent of formation of the oligomers was found to depend upon the concentration of platinum. The oligomerization reaction was explained by dehydrogenative coupling of Si-H groups in the presence of platinum catalyst. A plausible mechanism for formation of aminosiloxane and the Si-H oligomers were proposed. Alternatively, cyclic Si -H containing siloxanes on polymerization using butyl lithium gave oligomeric Si-H containing siloxanes, which were hydrosilated to give aminosiloxanes. The quaternary aminosiloxanes synthesized showed lowering in surface tension of water to 26 mN/m.

Degradation of Acetophenone in Water by Pulsed Corona Discharges

Degradation of acetophenone in dilute aqueous solution has been studied using pulsed corona discharges in water. Higher conversions of acetophenone were obtained with the addition of oxygen or ozone than with the addition of nitrogen and without the addition of any gas. Intermediates of acetophenone degradation, as determined by gas chromatography–mass spectroscopies (GC–MS), were phenethyl alcohol, toluene, and 2-acetylphenol. In addition, the degradation reaction pathways of acetophenone in water are discussed.

烯烃氢甲酰化催化剂活性物种的原位1H NMR研究

The rhodium-phosphine complex catalyst Rh(CO)(acac)(PPh3)(Ⅰ) for 1-hexene hydroformylation was studied under the following reaction conditions: CO/H2=1(mole rate), pressure 1.0 MPa, temperature 25-120℃, by using the pressurized in-situ 1H NMR technique. Experimental results indicated that the formation of a rhodium hydride complex from (Ⅰ) began at room temperature and its amount increased with increasing of reaction temperature. This intermediate complex began to decompose at 100℃ and disapeared completely at 120℃. The intensity change of the proton signal was parallel to catalytical activity in hydroformylation of olefins. Under pure CO pressure the proton signal of Ph-H bond was not observed. There was a 0.2 ppm difference in proton chemical shifts of Rh-H bond under pure H2 pressure and under H2+CO pressure. The results showed that the rhodium-hydride carbonyl complex is the active intermediate in the industrial hydroformylation process.     

Pulsed Corona Discharge-Induced Reactions of Acetophenone in Water

The reactions of acetophenone in water by pulsed corona discharges have been investigated to provide fundamental information concerning the reactions of acetophenone in water. Experimental results indicated that photolysis of acetophenone did not involve a hydroxyl radical mechanism and the majority flux of hydroxyl radicals originated from the dissociation of gas-phase oxygen in the plasma channels. The rate constants for photolysis and pyrolysis were determined to be 1.5×10^–7 M-s^–1, 2.2×10^–4 s^–1, respectively. The rate constant for the oxidative reactions was measured as 1.2×10^–7 M-s^–1. Results from this study support the proposal that acetophenone degradation reaction proceed through the oxidative reaction pathway, where molecular oxygen accelerates acetophenone degradation, photolysis, and pyrolysis pathways.

The Effects of Gas Composition on Active Species and Byproducts Formation in Gas–Water Gliding Arc Discharge

The effects of gas composition on hybrid gas–water gliding arc discharge plasma reactor have been studied. The voltage cycles are characterized by a moderate increase in the tension which is represented by a peak followed by an abrupt decrease and a current peak in the half period (10 ms). Emission spectrum measurements revealed that ^•OH hydroxyl radicals are present in the discharge with feeding any gas. The H₂O₂ concentrations reach 38.0, 15.0, 10.0, and 8.0 mg/l after 25 min plasma treatment with oxygen, argon, air, and nitrogen, respectively. O₃ was produced when oxygen and air are used, but not when nitrogen and argon. The O₃ concentration reached the highest value 1.0 mg/l after 25 min plasma treatment with oxygen feeding gas, but gradually decreased to 0.2 mg/l after that. With feeding nitrogenous gas, NO₂ ⁻ and NO₃ ⁻ byproducts were formed by the plasma chemical process.

Selective Synthesis of 2D Mesoporous CuO Agglomerates by Pulsed Spark Discharge in Water

Metal oxide nanomaterials, including copper oxide, have attracted great attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties that are dependent on particle size and morphology. In this study, we propose an alternative technique for the synthesis of 2D mesoporous CuO agglomerates that is both efficient and ecological. This technique is based on the use of pulsed spark discharges between copper electrodes immersed in deionized water. Detailed TEM analyses show that the synthesized CuO nanostructures are composed of elementary nanocrystals with sizes in the order of a few nanometers. Assessments of the effects of applied voltage (5 and 20 kV) and discharge pulse width (100 and 500 ns) demonstrate that the latter parameter influences the size and density of nanocrystals in a nanostructure. Moreover, voltage and pulse width may both be used to finely control the direct optical band gap energy of CuO nanostructures between 3.0 and 3.4 eV. The efficient and ecological technique developed in this study produces 2D mesoporous CuO agglomerates that can be readily used in other processes.

     

Effects of the Liquid Conductivity on Pulsed High-voltage Discharge Modes in Water

Spark, stream and corona pulsed high-voltage discharges in water induced by the various initial conductivities have been examined in this paper. The discharge modes changed from spark to corona discharge with the liquid conductivity increasing. The apparent production of OH radical and quantum yield generated by spark discharge in distilled water were 11.57 gmol/L and 0.0978 photon/s, respectively. A preliminary study on acid fuchsine (AF) treatment indicated that higher AF removal efficiency has been achieved by spark discharge. The process of degradation showed that the oxidative effects through OH radical oxidation did not play an important role and did increase with the discharge mode changing to spark discharge.     

Diesel Soot Combustion over Mn2O3 Catalysts with Different Morphologies: Elucidating the Role of Active Oxygen Species in Soot Combustion

Catalytic diesel soot combustion was examined using a series of Mn₂O₃ catalysts with different morphologies, including plate, prism, hollow spheres and powders. The plate‐shaped Mn₂O₃ (Mn₂O₃‐plate) exhibited superior carbon soot combustion activity compared to the prism‐shaped, hollow‐structured and powdery Mn₂O₃ under both tight and loose contact modes at soot combustion temperatures (T₅₀) of 327 °C and 457 °C, respectively. Comprehensive characterization studies using scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed reduction and oxygen release measurements, revealed that the improved activity of Mn₂O₃‐plate was mainly attributed to the high oxygen release rate of surface‐adsorbed active oxygen species, which originated from oxygen vacancy sites introduced during the catalyst preparation, rather than specific surface‐exposed planes. The study provides new insights for the design and synthesis of efficient oxidation catalysts for carbon soot combustion as well as for other oxidation reactions of harmful hydrocarbon compounds.
