Abstract

Exploding water jet discharge simultaneously generating powerful UV radiation, non-thermal plasma, and aerosol of fine water droplets has potential applications for removal of chemical and biological pollutants from air and water streams. A model plasma chemical reactor based on the exploding water jet discharge is considered. The radiation properties of the discharge, reactions of nitrogen oxide and hydrogen peroxide formation, and reactions of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide decomposition are studied experimentally.
