Microbial Inactivation in the Liquid Phase Induced by Multigas Plasma Jet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various gas atmospheric nonthermal plasmas were generated using a multigas plasma jet to treat microbial suspensions. Results indicated that carbon dioxide and nitrogen plasma had high sterilization effects. Carbon dioxide plasma, which generated the greatest amount of singlet oxygen than other gas plasmas, killed general bacteria and some fungi. On the other hand, nitrogen plasma, which generated the largest amount of OH radical, killed ≥ 6 log of 11 species of microorganisms, including general bacteria, fungi, acid-fast bacteria, spores, and viruses in 1-15 min. To identify reactive species responsible for bacterial inactivation, antioxidants were added to bacterial suspensions, which revealed that singlet oxygen and OH radicals had greatest inactivation effects.

متن کاملPlasma Based Sterilization: Overview and the Stepwise Inactivation Process of Microbial by Non-thermal Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet
The microbial inactivation/sterilization is an important part of our daily healthy life. This paper presents the overview on the sterilization process. Comparing the effectiveness of the sterilization agents it has been found that the short High Electric Field [HEF] pulse is the most efficient inactivation agent. This HEF pulse creates pores on the cell surface and kills the cell. Electroporati...

متن کاملInvestigation of Mass Transfer Coefficient under Jetting Conditions in a Liquid-Liquid Extraction System
In this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-Butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. The effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the heig...
متن کاملEffect of transient inactivation of rostral ventromedial medulla on swim stress induced analgesia in formalin test in rats
Introduction: Despite significant progress in understanding pain control mechanism, there are numerous questions about central nervous mechanisms underlying stress-induced analgesia. The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in the brainstem integrates a variety of functions, including pain modulation and pain perception. In the present study, we investigated the effect of temporary inactivatio...
