Abstract

In order to apply the discharge plasma processing. to industrial areas, the control of the chemical reaction mechanism is necessary. The hybrid plasma reactor was designed for the effective treatment of wastewater and hazardous volatile organic substances. This plasma reactor was similar to the barrier discharge, and surface discharge on the dielectric surface was propagated to the water surface strongly for the heterogeneous chemical reaction at the interface between the working gas and the water surface. The discharge emission in this discharge reactor was mainly $N_2$ second positive band in the case of $N_2$ or air gas atmosphere, and intensities from OH radicals in Ar gas atmosphere were stronger than in $N_2$ or air gas atmosphere. From this result, it is necessary to apply Ar gas for the effective generation of OH radicals in this plasma reactor.
