Abstract
Changes in the composition of aqueous NaCl solutions during the course of their treatment with glow-discharge plasma in a gas-liquid plasma-chemical reactor have been studied. A mathematical model involving the steps of oxidation of water molecules and chloride ions and the steps of reduction of their chemical conversion products has been developed. For the first time, it has been found that the hydrogen peroxide content of the solution monotonically decreases with the concentration of NaCl and a change in chlorite, chlorate, and perchlorate concentrations has the appearance of an undulating curve with a maximum at c(NaCl) = 3 g/L. The predominant accumulation of hypochlorite ions in the solution has been detected only in the case of the plasma treatment of the NaCl solutions with concentrations higher than 5 g/L.
