The research focused on the interaction of the plasma-generated species and the catalyst, as well as its role in the degradation process. Plasma decomposition of the anthraquinone reactive dye Reactive Blue 19 (RB 19) was performed by the self- made reactor system. Bi2O3 was prepared by electrodeposition followed by thermal treatment, and characterized by XRD, SEM and EDX techniques. It was observed that the catalyst promoted decomposition of plasma-generated H2O2 into •OH radicals, the principle dye-degrading reagent, which further attacked the dye molecules. The catalyst improved the decolorization rate by 2.5 times, the energy yield by 93.4%, and the total organic carbon TOC removal by 7.1%, respectively. The excitation of the catalyst mostly occurred through the strikes of plasma-generated reactive ion and radical species from the air, accelerated by the electric field, as well as by the fast electrons with the energy of up to 15 eV, generated by the streamers reaching the liquid surface. Those strikes transferred the energy to the catalyst and created the electrons and holes which further reacted with H2O2 and water, producing the •OH radicals. This was indentified as the primary role of the catalyst in this process. Decolorization reactions followed the pseudo first order kinetics. Production of H2O2 and dye degradation rate increased with the increase of input voltage. The optimal catalyst dose was 500 mg dm-3. Decolorization rate was little lower in the river water compared to the one in deionized water due to the side reactions of •OH radicals with the organic matter and inorganic ions dissolved in the river water.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"20 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134953762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, most PNF studies seldom address practical application-specific issues. In this work, we present the development of a compact and automatic PNF system for on-site agricultural applications. The system utilized a gliding-arc discharge as the plasma source and employed a dual-loop design to generate NO x - from air and water under atmospheric conditions. Experimental results showed that the system with a dual-loop design performs well in terms of energy costs and production rates. Optimal operational parameters for the system were determined through experimentation, resulting in an energy cost of 13.9 MJ mol −1 and an energy efficiency of 16 g kWh −1 for NO 3 - production, respectively. Moreover, the concentration of exhausted NO x was below the emission standards. Soilless lettuce cultivation experiments demonstrated that NO x - produced by the PNF system could serve as liquid nitrate nitrogen fertilizer. Overall, our work demonstrates the potential of the developed PNF system for on-site application in the production of green-leaf vegetables.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"23 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This diagnostic is composed of imaging system, beam splitting system for dual-route measurements, fiber bundles, spectrometer system, control and acquisition system. One route is used to obtain wide-spectral-range spectra, and the other route is used to acquire high-wavelength-resolution line shapes. The spectral resolution of the wide-range spectrometers is 0.8 nm with a coverage of 800 nm (@200-1000 nm). The spectral resolution of the high-resolution spectrometer is 0.01 nm with a coverage of 6 nm (@200-660 nm). The spatial resolution of each route of D-OES is about 4 cm with 11 channels. The temporal resolution is 16 ms at maximum in the single-channel mode. Wide-range spectra (containing Balmer series and Fulcher band) and highly resolved H_α line shapes are obtained by D-OES in the hydrogen glow discharge in the lab. D-OES measurements are carried out in the high-density deuterium experiments of HL-2A. The electron density n_e and deuterium temperature T_D in the X-point MARFE region are derived simultaneously by fitting the measured D_α shape. The density n_e is observed to increase from ~8.7×10^18 m^(-3) to ~7.8×10^19 m^(-3) and the temperature T_D drops from ~14.4 eV to ~2.3 eV after the onset of MARFE in the discharge #38260.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"25 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multispecies form of the normalized GLF equations guaranteeing self-consistent evolution of both bulk ions and impurities is presented. With parametric profiles of the cyclone base case (CBC), well-benchmarked ExFC is employed to perform simulations focusing on different impurity density profiles. For fixed temperature profile, it is found that the turbulent heat diffusivity of bulk ions in quasi-steady state is usually lower than that without impurity, which is contrary to the linear and quasi-linear predictions. The evolutions of the temperature gradient and heat diffusivity exhibit a fast relaxation process, indicating that the destabilization of the outwardly peaked impurity profile is a transient state response. Furthermore, the impurity effects of different profiles can obviously influence the nonlinear critical temperature gradient, which are likely to be dominated by linear effects. These results may evidence the plasma confinement improvement by the impurities probably through adjusting both heat diffusivity and critical temperature gradient.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"21 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134953894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the particle-in-cell simulation method is used to compare the thruster discharge process under the conditions of different position relationships between the cathode and the magnetic separatrix. By comparing the distribution of electron conduction, potential, plasma density, and other microscopic parameters, we try to explain the formation mechanism of the discharge difference. The simulation results show that the cathode inside and outside the magnetic separatrix has a significant effect on the distribution of potential and plasma density. When the cathode is located outer side of the magnetic separatrix, the potential above the plume region is relatively low, and there is a strong potential gradient above the plume region. This potential gradient is more conducive to the radial diffusion of ions above the plume, which is the main reason for the strong divergence of the plume. The distribution of ion density is also consistent with the distribution of potential. When the cathode is located outer side of the magnetic separatrix, the radial diffusion of ions in the plume region is enhanced. Meanwhile, by comparing the results of electron conduction, it is found that the trajectories of electrons emitted from the cathode are significantly different inner and outer sides of the magnetic separatrix. This is mainly because the electrons are affected by the magnetic mirror effect of the magnetic tip, which makes it difficult for the electrons to move across the magnetic separatrix. It is the main reason for the difference in potential distribution. In this paper, the simulation results of macroscopic parameters under several conditions are also compared, which are consistent with the experimental results. The cathode is located inner side of the magnetic separatrix, which can effectively reduce the plume divergence angle and improve the thrust. In this paper, the cathode moves from R = 50 mm to R = 35 mm along the radial direction, the thrust increases by 3.6 mN, and the plume divergence angle decreases by 23.77%. Combined with the comparison of the ionization region and the peak ion density, it can be found that the main reason for the change in thrust is the change in the radial diffusion of ions in the plume region.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134953573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that the grid-type plasma actuator was capable of producing a wall-normal jet array (peak magnitude: 1.07 m/s) similar to that generated in a micro-blowing technique, while the super-dense array plasma actuator created a wavy wall-parallel jet (magnitude: 0.94 m/s) due to the discrete spanwise electrostatic forces. Under a comparable electrical power consumption level, the super-dense array plasma actuator array significantly outperformed the grid-type configuration, reducing the total airfoil friction drag by approximately 22% at a free-stream velocity of 20 m/s. The magnitude of drag reduction was proportional to the dimensionless jet velocity ratio (r), and a threshold r = 0.014 existed under which little impact on airfoil drag could be discerned.","PeriodicalId":20250,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science & Technology","volume":"24 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
