Optimization of plasma treatment of aqueous sodium chloride solutions

Resumo

The effect of pressure in a plasma reactor on the synthesis of mixtures of H₂O₂ and ClO₂^- has been studied. The yield of oxidants, selectivity for chlorites, the rate of the process, and its energy consumption have been treated as optimization parameters. Functional dependences of the optimal time of the plasma treatment of NaCl solutions on the reactor pressure with respect to parameters, such as the process selectivity and chlorite yield, have been determined.
