Abstract:In the present study, non-thermal plasma (NTP) of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) was used to investigate the precipitation of salt from hypersaline waters obtained by evaporating seawater. A dripper was used to release drops of water over the NTP discharge between the droplet surface and a copper ring in a glass tub working as a DBD. Results showed that the precipitation rate of the NTPtreated solution was significantly higher than that of the untreated solution, with a larger number of small crystals form… Show more
