Applications of Plasma Produced with Electrical Discharges in Gases for Agriculture and Biomedicine

The use of thermal and non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma to solve problems related agriculture biomedicine is the focus this paper. Plasma in equilibrium used where heat required. In agriculture, it treat soil land contaminated by products biomass, plastics, post-hospital pharmaceutical waste combustion, also ecological phenomena that have recently been observed, such as droughts, floods storms, leading environmental pollution. biomedical applications, so-called indirect living tissue treatment. sources are arcs, torches microwave reactors. turn, cold (non-thermal) applied adversely affects technological processes. thermodynamic imbalance makes suitable for organic syntheses due its low power requirements possibility conducting chemical reactions gas at relatively close ambient temperatures. It treatment tissues sterilisation medical instruments made materials non-resistant high Non-thermal non-equilibrium discharges include dielectric barrier (DBDs) jets (APPJs), well gliding arc (GAD), can be source plasma. This paper presents an overview protection health solved with aid produced electrical discharges. particular, agricultural processes water, sewage purification ozone advanced oxidation processes, those pest control, presented. Among applications plasma, antibacterial activity, wound healing, cancer dental briefly discussed.
