Plasma Induced Degradation of Azobenzene in Water

The degradation of azobenzene (AO) by a gaseous plasma is reported. The plasma was generated in a localized zone between an electrolytic solution and a tip of an anode in contact with the surface of solution by means of contact glow discharge electrolysis. There is an optimum pH for the degradation of AO. Iron (II) had a remarkable catalytic action on it. Furthermore, the degradation followed the first‐order kinetic law. Some of the intermediate products of the degradation process were detected by HPLC.

Plasma-induced Degradation of Chlorobenzene in Aqueous Solution

Liquid-phase degradation of chlorobenzene (CB), induced by contact glow discharge electrolysis under various reaction conditions, such as, the initial solution pH, current intensity, volume of solution and iron salts was investigated. Experimental results indicated that, in the absence of catalysts, the depletion of CB followed first-order kinetics, where the observed value of the first-order rate constant ‘k’ is directly proportional to the applied current intensity and inversely proportional to the solution volume. Initial solution pH had little effect on the value of k. HPLC and IC analyses showed that the major intermediate products were chlorophenols, phenol, organic acids and chloride ions. During the treatment, a lot of hydrogen peroxide was formed. Role of Fenton’s reaction was examined. A reaction pathway is proposed based on the degradation kinetics and the distribution of intermediate products.     

Laser-induced modification of composite Cu-C nanosized particles synthesized using a pulsed electrical discharge in a liquid

Composite copper-containing carbon nanosized structures were synthesized in the plasma of a pulsed electrical discharge, initiated between two graphite electrodes in an aqueous copper chloride solution. We studied the effect of laser radiation on the morphology of the nanoparticles formed, whose properties we studied by optical absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. We discuss the mechanisms for nanoparticle formation in a discharge submerged in a liquid, and the possibilities for laser-induced modification of the nanoparticles. We estimated the temperature of the nanoparticles when exposed to laser radiation pulses. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 75, No. 3, pp. 372–378, May–June, 2008.     

Oxidative Degradation of Aqueous Cresols Induced by Gaseous Plasma with Contact Glow Discharge Electrolysis

The oxidative degradation of cresols smoothly proceeded toward inorganic end products when a gaseous plasma generated by means of dc glow discharge was sustained in contact with the surface of aqueous solution containing organic compounds. In order to get mechanistic insight, the monohydroxylation products from each isomeric cresol were closely examined as primary intermediates to reveal that the aromatic hydroxylation preferentially occurred at the position para to the hydroxyl group of each starting material. It was also established that the degradation of cresols strictly followed the first-order rate law. On the basis of the orientational analysis and the kinetical consideration including the effects of Fe ions added on the reaction rate, it was concluded that hydroxyl radical, which might result from the homolytic cleavage of water molecules by the action of plasma, was the most likely reagent responsible for the mineralization of cresols.     

基于飞秒激光引导高压放电的SF6分解物原位检测

Physical aspects of dust–plasma interactions

Low-pressure gas discharge plasmas are known to be strongly affected by the presence of small dust particles. This issue plays a role in the investigations of dust particle-forming plasmas, where the dust-induced instabilities may affect the properties of synthesized dust particles. Also, gas discharges with large amounts of microparticles are used in microgravity experiments, where strongly coupled subsystems of charged microparticles represent particle-resolved models of liquids and solids. In this field, deep understanding of dust–plasma interactions is required to construct the discharge configurations which would be able to model the desired generic condensed matter physics as well as, in the interpretation of experiments, to distinguish the plasma phenomena from the generic condensed matter physics phenomena. In this review, we address only physical aspects of dust–plasma interactions, that is, we always imply constant chemical composition of the plasma as well as constant size of the dust particles. We also restrict the review to two discharge types: dc discharge and capacitively coupled rf discharge. We describe the experimental methods used in the investigations of dust–plasma interactions and show the approaches to numerical modelling of the gas discharge plasmas with large amounts of dust. Starting from the basic physical principles governing the dust–plasma interactions, we discuss the state-of-the-art understanding of such complicated, discharge-type-specific phenomena as dust-induced stratification and transverse instability in a dc discharge or void formation and heartbeat instability in an rf discharge.
