The present study investigated the production of reactive chlorine species (RCS) by Ar/O2 and He/O2 radiofrequency plasma jets in saline solution, and the sensitivity of the liver cancer cell line HepG2 to RCS and H2O2. Both plasma jets were able to produce RCS; however, at similar plasma powers, pressures, and feed gas flow rates, the He/O2 jet was more efficient for RCS production. The lower RCS yield in the case of the Ar/O2 plasma jet was mainly due to the higher RCS quenching. At a low production rate, RCS can be produced in the open air. Viability tests showed that HepG2 cells were more sensitive to H2O2 than RCS.
In order to replace the traditional high-energy synthetic ammonia method, new synthetic ammonia technologies and methods are developing day by day. In this investigation, a gas−liquid interface pulsed discharge plasma technology is proposed, which uses only nitrogen and pure water to synthesize ammonia efficiently at room temperature and atmospheric pressure without injecting hydrogen gas and catalyst. The effects of the reactor structure, gas flow rate, and pulse power parameters on the synthesis of ammonia were studied experimentally, and the parameters were optimized. The results show that under the optimum conditions of the electrode distance gas−liquid ratio 10:4 and the discharge time 5 min, the maximum ammonia production was 7.67 mg/h and the energy consumption is 0.68 g/kW h, but the selectivity was highest when the electrode space gas−liquid ratio was 10:7. In addition, radicals and active substances in the reaction process were measured and analyzed by emission spectroscopy and chemical analysis. The transient behavior of ammonia production and the mechanism of ammonia formation were studied. The application of this method provides a new technical direction for improving the rate of ammonia synthesis and for research of sustainable nitrogen fixation.
The fixation of nitrogen (N2) from the air into ammonia (NH3) and nitrate (NO3−) is usually conducted using the Haber–Bosch process, which requires the raw material of hydrocarbons for hydrogen (H2), which has a large amount of energy but produces high CO2 emissions. An environmentally friendly and energy‐saving alternative is the air plasma electrolysis method, which can be used to synthesize NH3 and NO3− under ambient conditions. In this study, this method was used to inject air into the plasma zone in a K2SO4 electrolyte solution to produce N2 fixation compounds. The results showed that the use of cathodic plasma promoted the formation of NH3 but suppressed NO3− production. The optimal air injection rate was achieved at 0.6 L.min−1 and an electrical power of 452 W, with a total fixed N2 of 51.66 mmol. The highest formation of NO3− in cathodic plasma was obtained in 35 min, with a value of 29.92 mmol, and 2.57 mmol NH3 was achieved at 60 min. The high concentration of H2 gas, which is a by‐product of this process, can contribute to increasing the use of Haber–Bosch green technology in the production of NH3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
