Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We studied phenol decomposition in aqueous solution under the action of DC discharge at atmospheric pressure in air. The decomposition efficiency was 0.017 molecules per 100 eV. When the kinetics of forming destruction products was studied in detail, the peculiarities of air plasma action were revealed for the first time. Plasma action not only results in the formation of oxygen-containing products, which are usually formed under oxygen plasma action (hydroxyhenols, carboxylic acids, aldehydes), but also the formation of nitro phenols. The treatment is accompanied by hydrogen peroxide formation, a pH decrease, and nitric and nitrous acids formation. We also discussed the possible mechanism of the processes and the role of some active species in chemical transformations after determining some parameters of the discharge.
