The main pyrolysis products were determined by GC/MS method: styrene, methyl styrene, toluene, ethylbenzene and isopropyl benzene. Pulsed corona discharge with a duration of 40 ns, an amplitude of 100 kV and a current of 150 A with a pulse repetition rate of 10 Hz was used for the study. During the study, the concentration of components and ozone was measured as a function of specific energy. It was shown that unsaturated compounds are removed from the air with an efficiency that is an order of magnitude better than that of conventional aromatic compounds due to their reaction with ozone. An algorithm was proposed for classifying components based on their significantly different reactivity parameters relative to plasma components. Based on formal kinetics methods, a method was developed for determining the reactivity of components with significantly different parameters. The relative reactivity of aromatic components has been determined: toluene, ethylbenzene, isopropyl-benzene: 1.0 : 1.15 : 1.2 and unsaturated components: styrene, α-methyl-styrene: 1.0 : 1.6. At the same time, the reactivity ratio styrene/toluene exceeds the value of 10. The proposed method can be used to study the purification of air from multicomponent mixtures with different functional composition, which are usually pyrolysis products of various plastics and elastomers.</p>","PeriodicalId":504,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics","volume":"90 9","pages":"1695 - 1702"},"PeriodicalIF":0.48,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148962048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DPF is an intensive source of radiation with large number of applications in plasma physics and material engineering. A three electrode trigatron type spark-gap (controlled switch) is chosen for optimization to achieve the jitter that would be less than radiation emission time of DPF devices. A comparative study of static breakdown voltage (SBV) of spark-gap switch has been done for various gases, e.g., Ar, N<sub>2</sub>, SF<sub>6</sub>, and NArO (a mixture of O<sub>2</sub>, Ar, and N<sub>2</sub>). Experimental data shows that SBV is directly proportional to pressure for a fix gap between the two electrodes of spark-gap switch. SF<sub>6</sub> has the highest while Ar has the lowest SBV. The SBV of NArO and N<sub>2</sub> are almost equal because NArO has N<sub>2</sub> as its major component. NArO is found to be the most appropriate gas as it improves the recovery rate due to O<sub>2</sub> content in NArO mixture for repetitive operation of DPF. A circuit is set up to trigger two identical spark-gaps filled with NArO. Two different trigger schemes, a pulse transformer and a two stage Marx bank are used. Marx bank, due to its superior pulse characteristics, successfully triggered both the spark-gaps for all shots. The average jitter of two DPF devices is 26 ns with a standard deviation of 11 ns for multiple shots without any misfire.</p>","PeriodicalId":504,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics","volume":"90 9","pages":"1764 - 1773"},"PeriodicalIF":0.48,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148962092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
