Bulk-liquid phase direct processing

using GlidArc-I principle

The plasma-solution interaction processes for Gliding Arc (similar to GlidArc-I) between the aqueous solution surface and the metal electrode(s) in the gas phase were initially invented and studied in 1996/1997 by one of our associate (see Fig. 1). More detailed studies of the plasma, liquid, and surface zones were then taken into consideration and published by an international team. The electric field strength was measured, and the gas and electron temperatures and ion composition were estimated for the plasma zone. The cathode fall, water vaporization rate, and active species current yield due to the radiation chemistry mechanism were determined for the surface zone. The efficiency of oxidation of iodine ions and organic dyes in the liquid phase were investigated.

Chemical action of the Gliding Arcs between metallic electrodes and conducting (for example aqueous) liquid may have various practical applications for organic or inorganic substances conversion or destruction.
