Formation of Nitrogen Oxides in an Apokamp-Type Plasma Source

详细

Using optical and chemical processes, the composition of the products of decay of the atmospheric-pressure non-equilibrium plasma is determined in a pulsed, high-voltage discharge in the modes of apokampic and corona discharges. It is shown that the products of decay primarily contain nitrogen oxides NO_x, and in the mode of the corona discharge – ozone. Potential applications of this source of plasma are discussed with respect to plasma processing of the seeds of agricultural crops.
