Treatment of Chlamydomonas by generation of high voltage discharge plasma at water surface

摘要

This research deals with the treatment of Chlamydomonas by generation of high voltage discharge plasma at water surface. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is unicellular green algae grows on water surface of ponds or lakes over the Bangladesh and in other countries. These are causing several adverse effects for human and other animal beings. We have applied high voltage discharge plasma for the treatment of Chlamydomonas using point to plane electrode configuration. A high voltage test transformer (Model No. HV 9000, TERCO, 50Hz, rated secondary voltage: 140kV) is used as a high voltage supply source for generation of discharge at water surface. It is found that high voltage discharge plasma plays a key role for treatment of harmful algae help to remove microorganisms from water.
