The structure optimization of gas-phase surface discharge and its application for dye degradation

Abstract

A gas-phase surface discharge (GSD) was employed to optimize the discharge reactor structure and investigate the dye degradation. A dye mixture of methylene blue, acid orange and methyl orange was used as a model pollutant. The results indicated that the reactor structure of the GSD system with the ratio of tube inner surface area and volume of 2.48, screw pitch between a high-voltage electrode of 9.7 mm, high-voltage electrode wire diameter of 0.8 mm, dielectric tube thickness of 2.0 mm and tube inner diameter of 16.13 mm presented a better ozone (O 3) generation efficiency. Furthermore, a larger screw pitch and smaller wire diameter enhanced the O 3 generation. After the dye mixture degradation by the optimized GSD system, 73.21% and 50.74% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon removal rate were achieved within 20 min, respectively, and the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and biodegradability (BOD/COD) improved.

Strengthening decomposition of oxytetracycline in DBD plasma coupling with Fe-Mn oxide-loaded granular activated carbon

“…In this study, O 3 generated from the surface gas-phase DBD configuration was the primary active species in the reactor [27]. It can be seen from this figure that the OTC removal was increased from 82% to 89% after adding GAC to the DBD system.…”

Research on resonance parameters matching based on partitioned operation method of atmospheric pressure plasma reactor array

“…Δg), etc) are often used in environmental protection, sterilization, pollutant treatment and other fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] because of their strong oxidation characteristics. The application of large scale treatment cannot be realized by a single ROS generator due to its limited production.…”
