The article presents the results of plasma-chemical treatment of water and studies of its effect on the germination of cucumber seeds, as well as on the dynamics of the initial growth of plants. Tap water was treated with a pulsed underwater discharge formed in vapor-gas bubbles near the surface of a graphite electrode immersed in water. The discharge burned at peak voltage values of 800 V and a discharge current of 200 mA. Oscillograms of the current and voltage on the electrodes were obtained, the values of the specific electrical conductivity of water, the pH value, the concentrations of nitrite and nitrate ions, and also hydrogen peroxide in the treated water were measured. It is shown that the application of the plasma treated water ncreases the seed germination, accelerates the development of the root system, the growth of stem and leaves at the early stages of plant development

Abstract The properties of an electric arc ignited in a gas discharge plasma flow with a liquid electrolyte cathode are experimentally investigated. Aqueous solutions of sodium chloride with a specific electrical conductivity of 10-15 mS/cm were used as a liquid electrolyte. The distance between the anode and the liquid electrolyte cathode was set in the range of 5-60 mm, and the distance between the anode and the metal cathode was varied in the range of 2-30 mm. The current of gas discharge with a liquid electrolyte cathode was set in the range of 5-10 A, and the arc current varied in the range of 1-10 A. The conditions under which the arc burns with the formation of a contracted channel are revealed.

In order to prevent health risk from potential exposures to phthalates, a glow discharge plasma (GDP) process was applied for phthalate degradation in aqueous solution. The results revealed that the phthalate derivatives 4-hydroxyphthalic acid, 4-methylphthalic acid and 4-tert-butylphthalic anhydride could be degraded efficiently in GDP process (498 V, 0.2 A) with high removal efficiencies of over 99% in 60 minutes. Additionally, pyrite as a promising heterogeneous iron source in the Fenton reaction was found to be favorable for GDP process. The phthalate degradation reaction could be significantly enhanced by the continuous formation of •OH and the inhibition of the quenching reaction in the pyrite Fenton system due to the constant dissolution of Fe(II) from pyrite surface. Meanwhile, the initial pH value showed little impact on the degradation of phthalates and the energy efficiency of GDP system for phthalate degradation ranged between 0.280 × 10−9 and 1.210 × 10−9 mol/J, which is similar to the GDP system with phenol, bisphenol A and methyl tert-butyl ether as the substrates. Further, the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses indicated that the pyrite was relatively stable in GDP system and there was no obvious polymeric compound formed on the catalyst surface. Overall, this GDP process offers high removal efficiency, simple technology, considerable energy efficiency and the applicability to salt-containing phthalate wastewater.
