The method of processing the droplet-air flow by non-equilibrium plasma

Abstract

The paper considers a fundamentally new installation for the processing of a droplet-air environment in a non-equilibrium plasma. Its various designs are presented. This installation is built on the basis of pulsed energy devices and is intended for water disinfection and decomposition of dissolved organic compounds, the production of nanomaterials, research in physics and chemistry, etc. We have conducted research of the performance and energy efficiency of this method of processing. It is established that in obtaining the target product, this method of processing has an advantage over the known methods: due to high performance and energy efficiency, as well as the simplicity of this processing method. In addition, the parasitic load capacity of the nanosecond generator is reduced several times, this fact increases the voltage rise rate on the cells of the plasma plasmatrons, which improves performance and energy efficiency.
