“…Ozone (O 3 ) is applied as a disinfectant and oxidant for water treatment, but it also plays a major role for plasma oxidation of NO [57] and particulate matter (PM) [58]. NTPs were utilized for treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as short-and long-chained hydrocarbons [59,60]. Thus, NTPs are promising for exhaust gas treatment for automotive and industrial applications.…”

“…These reactions can be gained with much lower energy compared to a thermal plasma reactor [11]. All kinds of power generators (AC, DC and pulse) can be used for plasma generation, while AC and pulsed NTP show superior NO x removal efficiency and pulse energization is found to be more energy efficient [60]. NTP produces chemically active species, which are generated by the dissociation and ionization of the ambient gases.…”

“…However, the dielectric pellet material is placed in the gap between the barrier and the electrode. Relatively low voltages are applied for generation of a plasma over a relatively large electrode distance [60]. The packed bed uses a layer of DBD reactors consist of a couple of electrodes with at least one dielectric barrier in between.…”

Heat and mass transfer as well as chemical reactions in technical processes can be enhanced by using electric fields. This paper provides an overview of current fundamental and applied research as well as potential technical applications of electric fields in energy and process engineering. This includes electrosprays, technical combustors as well as electrochemical reforming and plasma gasification of waste or biomass. Other emerging fields are plasma technologies for treatment of water, surfaces and gases including flue gases. In particle or aerosol-laden flows, plasmas are used to promote particle nucleation and surface growth for controlled nanomaterial synthesis. Furthermore, non-invasive diagnostics based on electromagnetic fields and electric fluid properties are relevant techniques for online control and optimization of technical processes. Finally, an overview of laser-based techniques is provided for studying electro-hydrodynamic effects, temperature, and species concentrations in plasma and electric-field enhanced processes.

Cold physical plasmas ignited a technological spark in industry, biotechnology, and medicine. Especially the field of hygiene benefited of the plasma's exceptional activity against pathogenic microorganisms. Together with plasma-based surface functionalization, these qualities are highly relevant in a variety of processes in health care, such as the decontamination or sterilization of medical devices, food, packaging materials, waste water, or indoor air. In medicine, plasma has proven to show promising antiseptic results on skin and mucosal membranes in infection-related diseases in dermatology and dentistry. This comprehensive review will discuss the current applications of cold plasma in the fields of hygiene, and will provide a promising outlook on many applications yet to come.
