J. Janca et al., Investigation of the chemical action of the gliding and "point" arcs between the metallic electrode and aqueous solution, PLASMA CHEM, 19(1), 1999, pp. 53-67
The plasma-solution interaction processes for gliding and "point" arcs betw
een the aqueous solution surface and the metal electrode in the gas phase a
re studied. The plasma, liquid, and surface zones are taken into considerat
ion. The electric field strength is measured, and the gas and electron temp
eratures and ion composition are estimated for the plasma zone. The cathode
fall, water vaporization rate, and active species current yield due to the
radiation chemistry mechanism are determined for the surface zone. The eff
iciency of oxidation of iodine ions and organic dyes by different types of
discharge in the liquid zone ape investigated. The difference in action of
the various discharge types may be connected with various influences of the
plasma and surface zone on the oxidation processes.
