Abstract
A method for activating water by plasma of an electrodeless torch discharge in a microwave electromagnetic field in argon in an environment of water vapor, at atmospheric pressure, to obtain a pure solution of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 without impurities in distilled water is proposed. It is shown that the main mechanism for the formation of atomic hydrogen H• and hydroxyl HO• radicals in the water decomposition is photolysis under the influence of excimer vacuum ultraviolet radiation of argon plasma. Hydrated electrons can be an additional source of radicals in liquid water when the plasma torch comes into contact with the water surface. Today plasma technologies are widely used to produce activated water containing hydrogen peroxide, to solve environmental problems, to increase productivity in agriculture, and for medical use.
期刊介绍:
Plasma Physics Reports is a peer reviewed journal devoted to plasma physics. The journal covers the following topics: high-temperature plasma physics related to the problem of controlled nuclear fusion based on magnetic and inertial confinement; physics of cosmic plasma, including magnetosphere plasma, sun and stellar plasma, etc.; gas discharge plasma and plasma generated by laser and particle beams. The journal also publishes papers on such related topics as plasma electronics, generation of radiation in plasma, and plasma diagnostics. As well as other original communications, the journal publishes topical reviews and conference proceedings.
