Plasma treatment of contaminated liquid water: A comparison between steam bubble and gas bubble discharge

摘要

The treatment of contaminated water with atmospheric pressure, nonequilibrium plasma in recent years has been the subject of much research. The ability of such plasmas to treat water stem from the production of radicals that are capable of rapidly oxidizing organic contaminants. A common method of producing such radicals is by producing plasma within a gas bubble (typically air) in the liquid.
