Low-temperature, atmospheric-pressure plasmas in contact with liquids have attracted interest for various chemical applications including the synthesis of colloidal nanoparticles, degradation of organic pollutants, and conversion of abundant feedstocks. Compared to other chemical approaches, plasma-liquid chemistry does not require a catalyst material, is electrified, and produces unique...
Possible avenues for the plasma nanoscience and nanotechnology to help develop and advance clean, green, and sustainable solutions for the future carbon-emissions-free world are critically examined. The underlying scientific and technological approach is based on synergistic application of plasma electrified, catalytic, and hybrid processes and diverse sustainable feedstocks for the effective...
Gas treatment by atmospheric pressure plasma is gaining interest because the process is environmentally friendly. Specifically, atmospheric pressure plasma features a gas ionization state that consists of energetic electrons, ions, radicals, and excited species; consequently, contaminants compounds can be destroyed under mild conditions: low temperature, fast conversion, and potential...
Plasma–liquid interactions are important in many applications ranging from environmental remediation to material science and health care. Depending on the type of non-equilibrium electrical discharge plasma, its contact with liquid (i.e., generated either directly in the liquid, in the gas phase over, or in contact with a liquid), and the chemical composition of the surrounding environment,...
Natural gas is one of the abundant fossil fuels, and probably the most flexible considering its relatively simple composition. The primary constituent is methane, and methane is used in several industrially crucial processes, such as steam-methane reforming and partial oxidation for the production of hydrogen and syngas, respectively. However, there are still plenty of other reactions that...
Microwave Plasma and Radio Frequency (RF) Plasma are widely utilized plasma techniques for fabricating nano materials with tailored properties to suit specific applications. RF Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) is commonly employed for producing carbon nanomaterials, such as vertical graphene, which possesses desired defects for specific applications. By adopting PECVD,...
Textile industries use huge quantity of water and chemicals for surface treatment in scouring process before dying. This process is hazardous and pollute the environment. Government has zero liquid discharge (ZLD) norms for controlling such discharge. Further, nonthermal plasma treatment of surfaces could be one solution to this problem and it is a dry process. However, there are many...
