Acetic acid simulated as persistent organic compounds in water was decomposed by the discharge on water using the thin blade electrode. The thin blade electrode facilitates the generation of wide-ranging discharges on water. The influence of the acetic acid decomposition by the difference of the kind of the supply gas or the amount of the discharge power was investigated.When helium was used compared with argon, lots of acetic acid were decomposed. Moreover, it was confirmed that the decomposition speed of acetic acid became quick with the increase of the discharge power. On the other hand, it was clarified that the decomposition efficiency has improved when the discharge power is lowered.
Acetic acid simulating a persistent organic compound in water was decomposed by a discharge on water using a thin blade electrode. The thin blade electrode facilitates the generation of wide-ranging discharges on water. The effect of differences in the species of the supply gas and the discharge power on the decomposition of acetic acid was investigated. Compared with argon, when helium was used, a larger amount of acetic acid was decomposed. Experiments also confirmed that the decomposition rate of acetic acid rose with the discharge power. It was also found that the decomposition efficiency was improved when the discharge power was reduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
