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}

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 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 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}
