Abstract: | The chemical effects of self-sustained spark discharge with an energy per pulse of 5.9 × 10−2 J, a pulse repetition frequency of 10 Hz, and a spark-gap breakdown voltage of 6 kV have been studied. The discharge generated a UV photon flux of (2.5 ± 0.3) × 1015 cm−2 s−1 with an energy density of (2 ± 0.3) × 10−3 J cm−1 s−1 and the emission spectrum maximum at 220 nm. The action of the discharge on water samples leads to a decrease in pH and to buildup of oxidizing and reducing species. The formation of HO2· radicals with an initial yield of (1.2 ± 0.3) × 10−6 mol L−1 s−1 has been detected in the liquid. The initial yields of acid residues (increment in H+]), oxidants, and reducing agents are (5.8 ± 1.6) × 10−7, (3.3 ± 1) × 10−6, and (4.2 ± 1) × 10−7 mol equiv L−1s−1, respectively. The formation of NO3− and NO4+ ions, nitrosamines, and organic compounds has been established. |
