Evaluation of the potentials of humic acid removal in water by gas phase surface discharge plasma.
TL;DR: Degradation of humic acid (HA), a predominant type of natural organic matter in ground water and surface waters, was conducted using a gas phase surface discharge plasma system and results presented that O3 and OH radical played significant roles in HA removal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tiecheng Wang,Yang Cao,Guangzhou Qu,Qiuhong Sun,Tianjiao Xia,Xuetao Guo,Hanzhong Jia,Lingyan Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: A novel decomplexation method was developed using discharge plasma oxidation, which was followed by alkaline precipitation to treat water containing heavy metal-organic complex, that is, Cu-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Cu-EDTA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of Germination and Seedling Growth of Wheat Seed Using Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma with Various Gas Sources
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of non-thermal discharge plasma treatment on wheat seed germination and seedling growth was investigated using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma system at atmospheric pressure and room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alleviation of adverse effects of drought stress on wheat seed germination using atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatment.
TL;DR: Experimental results showed that the DBD plasma treatment could alleviate the adverse effects of drought stress on wheat seed germination and seedling growth; the germination potential and germination rate increased, and the root length and shoot length of the wheat seedlings also increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on reactive species in water treatment using electrical discharge plasma: formation, measurement, mechanisms and mass transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical and physical processes that occur as a result of the electrical discharge plasma are reviewed, and their possible roles in the degradation of contaminants are discussed, and measurement methods for the quantification of important reactive species and their advantages and shortcomings are presented.
