“…Recently, multiphase plasma discharge via plasma bubbles has attracted many researchers because of its unique advantages in improving the rates of chemical reactions and the mass transfer of gaseous plasma‐induced reactive species entering into the water, facilitating large volume plasma in water, and its excellent energy efficiency. Hence, this enhances the performance of plasma reactors in bacterial inactivation, algae treatment, and pollutant degradation (Hong et al., 2021; Mai‐Prochnow et al., 2021; Rao et al., 2023; Sommers & Foster, 2014; Zhou et al., 2021).…”

Meat is a nutritious food with a short shelf life, making it challenging to ensure safety, quality, and nutritional value. Foodborne pathogens and oxidation are the main concerns that lead to health risks and economic losses. Conventional approaches like hot water, steam pasteurization, and chemical washes for meat decontamination improve safety but cause nutritional and quality issues. Plasma‐activated water (PAW) is a potential alternative to thermal treatment that can reduce oxidation and microbial growth, an essential factor in ensuring safety, quality, and nutritional value. This review explores the different types of PAW and their physiochemical properties. It also outlines the reaction pathways involved in the generation of short‐lived and long‐lived reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RONS) in PAW, which contribute to its antimicrobial abilities. The review also highlights current studies on PAW inactivation against various planktonic bacteria, as well as critical processing parameters that can improve PAW inactivation efficacy. Promising applications of PAW for meat curing, thawing, and decontamination are discussed, with emphasis on the need to understand how RONS in PAW affect meat quality. Recent reports on combining PAW with ultrasound, mild heating, and non‐thermal plasma to improve inactivation efficacy are also presented. Finally, the need to develop energy‐efficient systems for the production and scalability of PAW is discussed for its use as a potential meat disinfectant without compromising meat quality.

Plasma‐electrified up‐carbonization for low‐carbon clean energy

et al. 2022

Low-value, renewable, carbon-rich resources, with different biomass feedstocks and their derivatives as typical examples, represent virtually inexhaustive carbon sources and carbon-related energy on Earth. Upon conversion to higher-value forms (referred to as "up-carbonization" here), these abundant feedstocks provide viable opportunities for energy-rich fuels and sustainable platform chemicals production. However, many of the current methods for such up-carbonization still lack sufficient energy, cost, and material efficiency, which affect their economics and carbon-emissions footprint. With external electricity precisely delivered, discharge plasmas enable many stubborn reactions to occur under mild conditions, by creating locally intensified and highly reactive environments. This technology emerges as a novel, versatile technology platform for integrated or stand-alone conversion of carbon-rich resources. The plasma-based processes are compatible for integration with increasingly abundant and cost-effective renewable electricity, making the whole conversion carbon-neutral and further paving the plasma-electrified upcarbonization to be performance-, environment-, and economics-viable.Despite the chief interest in this emerging area, no review article brings together the state-of-the-art results from diverse disciplines and underlies basic mechanisms and chemistry underpinned. As such, this review aims to fill this gap and provide basic guidelines for future research and transformation, by providing an overview of the application of plasma techniques for carbon-rich resource conversion, with particular focus on the perspective of discharge plasmas, the fundamentals of why plasmas are particularly suited for upcarbonization, and featured examples of plasma-enabled resource valorization. With parallels drawn and specificity highlighted, we also discuss the technique shortcomings, current challenges, and research needs for future work.

We report acoustic impulse-response and system function of particle vibration inside viscous, dense solids and explain the physical mechanism of intrinsic-noise generation. With an external disturbance of a harmonic force acting on particles inside viscous solid media, the system of particle vibration goes through a gradual transition from a static state to a steady harmonic vibrational state. Based on the damped oscillator model, the transition frequency spectrum resembles the intrinsic noise generated by vibrating particles in viscous isotropic solids, which delivers a crucial understanding for applications to invert stratum characteristics around the drilled oil well and its abnormal geological structure.
