Effect of the Coil Angle in an Inductively Coupled Plasma Torch: A Novel Two-Dimensional Model

A two-dimensional model has been developed for the calculation of the electromagnetic (EM) fields generated by spiral coil currents, in order to obtain a better representation of the actual configuration used in a typical inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch. In order to obtain the EM fields in a two-dimensional model, the change of EM field in tangential direction is neglected and the coil is assumed to be a concentric cylinder. In order to justify our assumption, the EM, flow and temperature fields resulting from five-ring coil and concentric cylinder coil are compared and the results are almost the same except for the EM field in the vicinity of the coil. In the case of the spiral coil, the coil current is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. Therefore current in the cylinder coil is assumed to have the same inclined angle, which is split into tangential and axial components. The axial electric field and hence an axial current in plasma is induced by the axial component of the spiral coil current. Charge density is accumulated in the plasma, since the axial current cannot form a loop. In order to obtain the EM field and the charge distribution in the plasma generated by the spiral coil, the equations of axial vector potential and electrostatic potential have been derived. Due to the swirling Lorentz force (J_z×B_r) an axisymmetrical swirling fluid model is used to simulate the plasma flow in an axisymetrical configuration. With an inclined angle of the coil current being 3.7° and the frequency being 3 MHz, computational results show that the swirling Lorentz force causes plasma swirling with a maximum speed of 3.41 m/s near the plasma center when the injected sheath gas and central gas are not swirling. In these conditions, the real and imaginary parts of the maximum electrostatic potential are 0.95 V and 1.66 V, respectively. When the electrostatic field is neglected, the swirling velocity of the plasma is 3.95 m/s.     

Thermochemistry of thermal plasma chemical reactions. Part I. General rules for the prediction of products

Equilibrium calculations based on the standard technique of minimization of the Gibbs free energy, with consideration of both gas and condensed phases, are shown to be inadequate for predicting the yield or even the proper composition of the products from thermal plasma reaction systems. This is due to the dominating influence of nucleation kinetics, a nonequilibrium effect.In this paper a modification of the equilibrium approach is proposed, whereby the supersaturation of a phase which may condense is calculated, and species with low supersaturation pressures which are unlikely to precipitate are subsequently removed from consideration.A comparison is made between the former equilibrium predictions and these quasi-equilibrium predictions. When compared with experimental data taken from the extant literature and from the authors' own research, the quasi-equilibrium modification is seen to provide excellent agreement with respect to product composition and yield. Examples are discussed including the thermal plasma production of hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, acetylene, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and titanium carbide.     

Characterization of the Converging Jet Region in a Triple Torch Plasma Reactor

Enthalpy probe measurements were taken of the converging plasma plume in a triple torch plasma reactor and related to substrate heat flux measurements. Results show excellent entrainment of process gases injected into the converging plasma plume by way of the central injection probe. At lower pressures (40 kPa), the plasma volume is equivalent to at least a 3 cm diameter, 4 cm long cylinder, with relatively uniform temperature, velocity, and substrate heat flux profiles when compared to a typical dc arc jet. Converging plasma plume size, substrate heat flux, and enthalpy profiles are also shown to be a strong function of applied system power. Substrate heat flux measurements show smaller radial gradients than enthalpy probe measurements, because of the high radial velocity component of gases above the substrate boundary layer. Enthalpy probe measurements were also conducted for diamond deposition conditions and approximate temperature and velocity profiles obtained. Problems with the uniform gas mixture assumption prohibited more accurate measurements. Reproducibility of enthalpy measurement results was shown with an average standard deviation of 11.8% for the velocity and 7.6% for the temperature measurements.     

Hydrophilic Treatment of the Dyed Nylon-6 Fabric using High-density and Extensible Antenna-coupling Microwave Plasma System

High density and well surface-distributed oxygen microwave plasma with an extensible antenna-coupling design was utilized to modify a densely weaved and large-surface-area Nylon-6 fabric within a short treatment time. Plasma pretreatment and subsequent acrylic acid (AAc) or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) grafting process were studied and optimized at the stage after dyed and finished procedure. The monomer-grafted dyed Nylon-6 fabrics evolved lasting hydrophilic properties and thereafter created or improved surface properties such as water diffusion, drainage, moisture regain and water absorbency, in different degrees. The pHEMA-grafted sample exhibited minor effect in color perception, which was also much hydrophilic than the pAAc-grafted one. Based upon surface analyses and wetting assessment, the penetration of HEMA monomer into the plasma-treated fabric matrix contributed to the facilitation of wetting properties. This work accordingly ensures such plasma-induced system to incorporate with the pattern of hydrophilic properties on the analogous textiles without interrupting their finishing process.     

Unraveling the mystery of efficacy in Chinese medicine formula: New approaches and technologies for research on pharmacodynamic substances

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the key to unlock treasures of Chinese civilization. TCM and its compound play a beneficial role in medical activities to cure diseases, especially in major public health events such as novel coronavirus epidemics across the globe. The chemical composition in Chinese medicine formula is complex and diverse, but their effective substances resemble “mystery boxes”. Revealing their active ingredients and their mechanisms of action has become focal point and difficulty of research for herbalists. Although the existing research methods are numerous and constantly updated iteratively, there is remain a lack of prospective reviews. Hence, this paper provides a comprehensive account of existing new approaches and technologies based on previous studies with an in vitro to in vivo perspective. In addition, the bottlenecks of studies on Chinese medicine formula effective substances are also revealed. Especially, we look ahead to new perspectives, technologies and applications for its future development. This work reviews based on new perspectives to open horizons for the future research. Consequently, herbal compounding pharmaceutical substances study should carry on the essence of TCM while pursuing innovations in the field.     

Optimization of selenium determination in plant samples by hydride generation and axial view inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

The use of hydride generation coupled with axial view inductively couple plasma atomic emission spectrometry was presented for the determination of selenium in plant samples. The chemical factors affecting potentially the hydride generation efficiency (hydrochloric acid, sodium borohydride and sodium hydroxide concentrations) were assessed through investigation of chemical interference, accuracy and repeatability. The accuracy of measurements was not affected by elements present in high concentration in the plant matrix (K, Ca, Mg, and P). No interference was also observed with transition metals. Using a real sample (maize) with standard additions, decreases of recoveries were sometimes observed for 0.1% (m/v) NaOH, and attained 13.8% in the most unfavourable case. The final accuracy of the method was verified by using two certified reference materials: CRM 402 (white clover) and CRM 279 (sea lettuce). No statistically significant differences were obtained between the measured concentrations and the certified values. The optimized method was found sensitive (detection limit 0.15 μg l⁻¹), reliable and repeatable (R.S.D. between 1.3% and 4.0%).     

Low-temperature electrothermal vaporization of thenoyltrifluoroacetone complex of Sc(III) and Y(III) for sample introduction in an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry,and their determination in biological samples

A new method for inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) determination of trace Sc and Y, based on gaseous compound introduction into the plasma as their thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) complexes by electrothermal vaporization was developed. Using the reagent TTA as chemical modifier can not only enhance the analytical signals, but also reduce the vaporization temperature. At a temperature of 1,000 °C the trace Sc and Y can be vaporized completely into ICP. The factors affecting the formation of the chelate and its vaporization behavior, such as drying time, vaporization temperature/time, reaction medium and the amount of TTA, were investigated in detail. Under the optimized conditions (drying temperature/time 100 °C/10 s, vaporization temperature/time 1,000 °C/4 s), the limits of detection for Sc and Y were 19 pg and 34 pg (3), respectively, and the relative standard deviations for Sc and Y were 4.2% (c _Sc=0.2 g mL^–1; n=7) and 2.6% (c _Y=0.5 g mL^–1; n=7). The linear ranges of the calibration graphs cover three orders of magnitude. The method was applied to the analysis of the biological reference materials (GBW 07602, bush branches and leaves; GBW 07604, poplar leaves), and the results obtained were in good agreement with the certified values.     

Development of a miniature simultaneous MPT spectrometer

An unique miniature simultaneous microwave plasma torch (MPT) atomic emission spectrometer employing linear UV intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) array detector has been developed and studied preliminarily. The detection limits and precisions of the spectrometer for Ag, Al, Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Sr and V by using different CCD exposure times have been determined. An analysis of a practical sample has been carried out. The preliminary results demonstrate that such simultaneous spectrometer has advantages of saving sample and time, especially suitable for use as detector for chromatography and in combination with flow injection systems. Taking analytical figures of merit and portability into accounts, the miniature simultaneous MPT system will have extended application areas and greater competition potential as compared with commercialized scanning MPT spectrometers.
