Abstract
Plasma activated water (PAW) has been prepared using atmospheric pressure air dielectric barrier discharge with the bubbling method. This study aims to elucidate the crucial role of gas-liquid interface in determining the physicochemical properties and biological reactivity of PAW, as well as describe the process of mass transfer for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) during the PAW generation. Gas-liquid interfacial area is regulated by varying the airflow rate. When the airflow rate increases from 0.5 to 16.0 SLM, the concentrations of \(\:\text{N}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{-}}\), \(\:\text{N}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{-}}\), \(\:{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}\) and activated oxygen in PAW increase significantly, and the water-activated time for complete E. coli inactivation can be shortened from more than 320 s to 40 s. The numerical simulation result shows that when the airflow rate increases from 0.5 to 16.0 SLM, the gas-liquid interfacial area increases from 0.014 to 0.3 m2/600 mL. The analysis shows that the dependence of the chemical reactivity and the biological reactivity on the interface area is mainly attributed to the change of the mass flux with the interface area.
期刊介绍:
Publishing original papers on fundamental and applied research in plasma chemistry and plasma processing, the scope of this journal includes processing plasmas ranging from non-thermal plasmas to thermal plasmas, and fundamental plasma studies as well as studies of specific plasma applications. Such applications include but are not limited to plasma catalysis, environmental processing including treatment of liquids and gases, biological applications of plasmas including plasma medicine and agriculture, surface modification and deposition, powder and nanostructure synthesis, energy applications including plasma combustion and reforming, resource recovery, coupling of plasmas and electrochemistry, and plasma etching. Studies of chemical kinetics in plasmas, and the interactions of plasmas with surfaces are also solicited. It is essential that submissions include substantial consideration of the role of the plasma, for example, the relevant plasma chemistry, plasma physics or plasma–surface interactions; manuscripts that consider solely the properties of materials or substances processed using a plasma are not within the journal’s scope.
