Sorption of quinones on polymers

Analysis of benzoquinone decomposition in solution plasma process

“…It has been shown that p-BQ in water was dangerous for living organisms if the concentration is higher than 3 mg L −1 (30 µM) [6]. Typically used methods for p-BQ decomposition include electrochemical degradation [6][7][8], sorption by polymers [9], and glow discharge electrolysis [10]. In this study, experiments were performed with concentrations much higher than 30 µM in order to understand the mechanism of decomposition of an organic compound in a solution-borne plasma.…”
