About the Book
This book explains atmospheric plasma sterilization, air pollution control, solid waste, and water treatment technologies. A novel non-thermal plasma fluidized bed was developed for remediating phenanthrene-contaminated soil 95% of the phenanthrene was removed with an energy density of 5960 J/g soil, and a possible mechanism of the phenanthrene degradation by the plasma fluidized bed was also proposed. A gliding arc plasma reactor was used for the degradation and discoloration of the textile dyes solutions. The discoloration and degradation for mixed dyes with Fenton catalysis follow pseudo-first-order kinetics. A microplasma jet system was developed for reducing Cr(VI) in wastewater; 100% of Cr(VI) could be reduced after the 2-min discharge treatment with an energy density of 300 J/mL water. Surface sterilization using the humid air gliding arc discharge is rapid and effective. The dynamic sterilization under different air flow rates and gap distances shows that increasing air flow rates and shorter discharge gap distance could improve sterilization efficiency. A novel non-thermal plasma fluidized bed was developed for cleaning air and volatile organic compounds.
