The degradation of Reactive Black 5 (KN-B) in water using double-dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) was studied. Experimental results showed that the KN-B degradation rate increased as the initial pH decreased. Low concentrations of Fe2+ enhanced the degradation, whereas high concentrations of Fe2+ hindered the degradation. The results showed that DDBD did not noticeably reduce total organic carbon but did reduce the pH value and improve the biodegradability of the solution significantly. Furthermore, the UV–Vis spectra of the dye showed that the chromophore group was damaged and that the solution was decolorized after the 10-min degradation process.

Degradation of Reactive Black 5 in aqueous solution was studied by double-dielectric barrier discharge, degradation efficiency and degradation mechanism has been investigated. Results shows that during in ten minutes degradation, decolorization efficiency can reach 98.76%,COD and TOC could not be reduce observably, while the biodegradability has been greatly improved, the BOD5/COD ratio increase from 0.079 to 0.495.Decolorization efficiency is higher than that of mineralization, decolorization follows the first order kinetics with a constant rate of 0.4008 min-1. pH of the solution decrease gradually, but the conductivity increase during the degradation process. The ions of sulfate, nitrate, acetic acid, and oxalic acid have been found in the final treated sample and their concentrations increase with the reaction time. Chromophore group is damaged firstly and the solution has been decolorized efficiently, the degradation of benzene ring and naphthalene ring is more difficult than that of the azo bond, and the reduction or disappearance of absorption peaks indicates that the aromatic ring of KN-B was degraded partly.

AbstractThe dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) technique based cylindrical water falling film reactor was used for degrading an azo dye methyl orange (MO). The primary conditions affecting the degradation of methyl orange were systematically investigated. After 30 min plasma treatment, the degradation rate of MO was as high as 93.7% with gas velocity of 300 mL/min and the input energy of 72.5W. The influences of initial pH and conductivity of MO solution were also explored. The results indicated that the optimum pH value was 3.02 and 99.1% removal of MO was achieved within 30 min. Three catalytic systems DBD/Fe

In this paper, plasma acid was obtained by treating distilled water with dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure in order to hydrolyze cellulose. The acidity of plasma acid was studied through a single factor experiment. A plasma acid with pH value of 1.42 was obtained and used to hydrolyze microcrystalline cellulose at 80°C for 60min. Under this condition, the integrated optical density (IOD) of the hydrolysis sample was 0.589. Based on standard glucose curve, the total reducing sugar (TRS) was calculated to be 53.75mg and the TRS yield was 53.75%. The filtrate was evaporated to get the solid hydrolysis sample to be analyzed by High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the sample mainly consisted of glucose, which proved that microcrystalline cellulose could be hydrolyzed by plasma acid. Therefore, it could be concluded that it was an environmentally friendly and economical method to hydrolyze the microcrystalline cellulose by plasma acid.

With the rapid development in industrialization and urbanization, various air pollutants are emitted into atmospheric environment. NO, SO2, Hg0are the most important pollutant in the flue gas. The application of non-thermal plasma (NTP) technology in the removal of NO, SO2, Hg0was reviewed respectively. Environmental applications have mainly involved plus corona discharge (PCD) and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system. In the future, the application of plasma technology in the flue gas could be focused on multiple pollutants synergistic mechanism.
