Arc and pulsed spark discharge inactivation of pathogenic P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, M. canis, T. mentagrophytes, and C. albicans microorganisms

In‐Liquid Plasma Catalysis: Tools for Sustainable H2‐free Heavy Oils Upgrading

“…[32] They observed the application of spark discharges between needle and plate electrodes submerged in n-hexadecane and toluene resulted in the generation of carbonaceous products and gas evolution, exhibiting a comparative energy efficiency of approximately 30 g.kWh À 1 relative to conventionally thermal processes. In the context of our understanding from the reported work utilizing SAD plasma in wastewater treatment, [33][34][35] the optimized conditions of SAD plasma offer several notable advantages in liquid hydrocarbon cracking. These include a high liquid surface-to-plasma volume ratio, enabling enhanced liquid contact and rapid quenching.…”

Seed priming with corona discharge plasma modified growth performance, improved metabolism, and elicited production of tropane alkaloids in Datura inoxia seedlings; plasma technology for application in plant in‐vitro cultures

“…[2] Cold plasma technology is growing fast in many fields such as medicine, food industry, etc. [3][4][5][6] Cold plasma has gained a lot of attention for potential application in agriculture due to its lack of thermal damage to living structures and biomolecules and its high capability to decontaminate fungal and bacterial microorganisms (especially the latter), boost seed germination, plant growth, and cellular metabolism [2,7,8] and antibacterial. [2] Ultra violet (UV) radiations, radicals, positively charged ions, electrons, and gas atoms are the major constituents of the plasma as a fourth fundamental state of matter.…”
