Non-thermal plasma is an emerging technique in environmental pollution control technology, produced by the high-voltage discharge processes and therefore a large amount of high energy electrons and active species are generated. The degradation of difficult-degraded organic pollutions will be greatly enhanced by the active species generated from non-thermal plasma process. However, research on n...

The air pollutions from combustion flue gas and industrial gases became worse and cause the environmental problem. It is difficult for the conventional methods such as selective catalytic reduction method and lime-gypsum method to treat exhaust gases energy efficiently and inexpensively. Its energy efficiency and its initial and running costs are still in negative situation for the backward nat...

This study compares the regeneration efficiency of an aged industrial hydrodesulfurization catalyst (CoMoP/Al2O3) by conventional and alternative routes: thermal oxidation versus non-thermal plasma technology (NTP). Spent, partially, fully regenerated catalysts have been characterized XRD, XPS, toluene hydrogenation to measure hydrogenating activity. Complete HDS via NTP requires heating dielec...

in this paper, using a one-dimensional simulation model, the reforming process of sour gas, i.e. ch4, co2, and h2s, to the various charged particles and syngas in a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor is studied. an electric field is applied across the reactor radius, and thus a non-thermal plasma discharge is formed within the reactor. based on the space-time coupled finite element meth...

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 ...

The antimicrobial activity of atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma has been exhaustively characterised, however elucidation of the interactions between biomolecules produced and utilised by bacteria and short plasma exposures are required for optimisation and clinical translation of cold plasma technology. This study characterizes the effects of non-thermal plasma exposure on acyl homoserine...

We present the Chandra results of AX J1843.8−0352, a supernova remnant (SNR) recently identified with ASCA. Chandra spatially resolved two components from this SNR: non-thermal and thermal ones. The morphology of the nonthermal component is clumpy and elliptical, elongated from the north to the south with a mean diameter of about 9. The spectrum is fitted with a power-law model of photon index ...

Non-thermal plasmas are emerging as a novel tool for the treatment of living tissues for biological and medical purpose. In this study, we described the effect of 4 min dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma on both T98G cancer and HEK normal cell lines in the presence of different concentrations of osmolytes. This treatment strategy shows a specific inhibitory effect of a 240 s plasma expos...

The present study is dedicated to the reforming of Diesel fuel with Diesel engine exhaust gas using a non-thermal plasma torch for NOx trap regeneration application. The plasma technology developed is based on a high voltage / low current non-thermal plasma torch. In the first part of the paper, experimental results on production of synthesis gas from Diesel fuel reforming with ha l-0 06 17 14 ...

This paper introduces recent optical measurements of radicals in atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), laser absorption, and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) techniques have been applied for density and temperature measurements of OH radicals, NO molecules, ozone, atomic oxygen, atomic nitrogen, and N2( A3Σ u ) metastables in pulsed corona and pulsed diel...
