Industrial Applications of Pulsed Power Technology

Abstract

A review of mainly the past two years is undertaken of the industrial applications of pulsed power. Repetitively operated pulsed power generators with a moderate peak power have been developed for industrial applications. These generators are reliable and have low maintenance. Development of the pulsed power generators helps promote industrial applications of pulsed power for such things as food processing, medical treatment, water treatment, exhaust gas treatment, ozone generation, engine ignition, ion implantation and others. Here, industrial applications of pulsed power are classified by application for biological effects, for pulsed streamer discharges in gases, for pulsed discharges in liquid or liquidmixture, and for material processing.Index Terms -Pulsed power, industrial application, bioelectrics, exhaust gas treatment, discharge in liquid, material processing.

Evaluation of Synthesized Ozone by Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma for Degradation of Anionic Dyes from their Solutions

“…The DBD generated ozone has been applied in treatment of polluted water, decomposition of exhaust gas and surface modification. [22][23][24] Analysis & measurements Chemical and Biological Oxygen Demand (COD &BOD)…”

Solid state marx modulator with blumlein stack for bipolar pulse generation

“…THE application of sub-microsecond bipolar HV pulses is, nowadays, widely seen in areas such as food processing, medical treatment, waste water and exhaust gas processing [1][2][3][4][5]. To achieve flexible, efficient and reliable bipolar modulators, numerous techniques, from the use of solid-state technology to pulse forming lines, PFL, are applied.…”

Solubilization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Using Ozone Generated by Dielectric Barrier Discharge

“…DBD has been widely used for generation of activate radicals and excited species such as O, H, O 3 , N 2 þ , and OH, which are generated by dissociation and ionization of the ambient gases as a result of energy transfer from energetic electrons to the gas molecules. 23) DBD-generated ozone has been successfully applied to treatment of polluted water, decomposition of exhaust gas and surface modification. [23][24][25] Okpalugo et al demonstrated oxidation of CNTs using a DBD reactor and showed increase of oxygen-rich functional groups such as -COO À on CNTs surface.…”
