“…Figure 2 presents the installation of a three-phase GlidArc plasma reactor tested in the Department's laboratory. Reactors of this type are used mainly in the neutralisation of toxic gases, such as SOx and NOx or in other technologies [17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The quasi-arc discharge created in them is a source of non-thermal plasma filling part of the discharge chamber space.…”

This paper presents an analysis of electromagnetic disturbance interactions inside the three-phase gliding arc plasma generation installation. This is the main part of the electromagnetic compatibility analysis of the reactor installation. All elements of the nonthermal plasma installation are described from the point of view of disturbance generation and their influence on the power supply system. The analysis is based on the results of tests carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Directive and harmonised standards. The disturbances measured are large, over 20 dB above the limits. The disturbances measured allow valid conclusions to be reached in relation to this type of installation. The implication is the need for plasma reactors designed with elements that reduce radiated and conducted interference.

“…Lowtemperature plasma can be used to remove chemical and biological contamination in a variety of applications such as gas, water, soil treatment and decontamination of abiotic and biotic surfaces such as skin and seeds [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Non-equilibrium plasma was used to modify the surfaces of materials by changing the angle of surface tension, improving the properties of thin coatings, preserving and renovating archaeological features [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and activation of liquids [6,31].…”

Sterilization of municipal waste for a raw material for the production of refuse-derived fuel and to protect surface and ground waters against biological contamination during transfer and storage creates a lot of problems. This paper evaluates the antimicrobial potential of non-equilibrium plasma in relation to the selected groups of microorganisms found in humid waste. The proposed research is to determine whether mixed municipal waste used for the production of alternative fuels can be sterilized effectively using low-temperature plasma generated in a gliding arc discharge reactor in order to prevent water contamination and health risk for working staff. This work assesses whether plasma treatment of raw materials in several process variants effectively eliminates or reduces the number of selected groups of microorganisms living in mixed municipal waste. The presence of vegetative bacteria and endospores, mold fungi, actinobacteria Escherichia coli, and facultative pathogens, i.e., Staphylococcus spp., Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Enterococcus faecalis and Clostridium perfringens in the tested material was microbiologically analyzed. It was found that the plasma treatment differently contributes to the elimination of various kinds of microorganisms in the analyzed raw materials. The effectiveness of sterilization depended mainly on the time of raw materials contact with low-temperature plasma. The results are very promising and require further research to optimize the proposed hygienization process.

“…One of the methods of modifying material properties such as contact angle is using nonthermal plasma. (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) The use of plasma may allow not only cost reduction but may also be more environmentally friendly. (10) Additional reductions in manufacturing costs can be achieved by the use of plasma reactors, such as an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) that does not require the use of a vacuum.…”

For some applications of plastic materials, such as polystyrene, an important role is played by the wettability of the material. One of the methods of modifying material properties such as water contact angle is using nonthermal plasma. In this study, a radio-frequency atmospheric -pressure plasma jet source has been applied to the surface modification of a high-impact polystyrene film. The measurements show a dependence between the change in the water contact angle and the operating parameters of a nonequilibrium plasma treatment, such as the composition of the working gas, the flow rate, the distance from the plasma zone, and the discharge power.
