Abstract: | A direct-current air plasma jet operated underwater presents three stable modes including an intermittently-pulsed discharge,a periodically-pulsed discharge and a continuous discharge with increasing the power voltage.The three discharge modes have different appearances for the plasma plumes.Moreover,gap voltage-current characteristics indicate that the continuous discharge is in a normal glow regime.Spectral lines from reactive species (OH,N2,N2+,Hα,and O) have been revealed in the emission spectrum of the plasma jet operated underwater.Spectral intensities emitted from OH radical and oxygen atom increase with increasing the power voltage or the gas flow rate,indicating that reactive species are abundant.These reactive species cause the degradation of the methylene blue dye in solution.Effects of the experimental parameters such as the power voltage,the gas flow rate and the treatment time are investigated on the degradation efficiency.Results indicate that the degradation efficiency increases with increasing the power voltage,the gas flow rate or the treatment time.Compared with degradation in the intermittently-pulsed mode or the periodically-pulsed one,it is more efficient in the continuous mode,reaching 98% after 21 min treatment. |
