The Industrial Production of Water Dedicated to Absorption of Gases

Abstract

The paper presents a flow plasma reactor permitting modification of the properties of water/aqueous solutions by stochastic resonance amplification of vibrations of selected chemical species in water with electromagnetic noise generated during a plasma discharge. The main parameters characterizing the quality for super-pure water, tap water and water from the intake in Besko (Poland) before and after the process in the plasma reactor were presented for comparison. In addition, the 17 O NMR (the full width at half maximum) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) methods were used to determine differences in physicochemical parameters between the untreated and plasma-treated water. It has been established that the water subjected to plasma treatment shows much different gas absorption properties than the untreated water samples, as a function of temperature and pressure, in this paper we report exemplary data for CO 2 , oxygen and acetylene. The improved gas absorption properties of the plasma-treated water make it attractive for the use in industrial processes. It is worth pointing to a great capacity of the new reactor (4000 l/h), and low energy consumption (20 MJ/h) for the treatment of the above mentioned volume flow rate of water.

Process Technology for Production of Hydrogen-Rich Water and Water Characterizing by Highly Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential

“…We have developed a plasma flow reactor that allows for contactless microstructuring and modifying the properties of water / aqueous solutions by resonant stochastic vibration amplification of selected chemical compounds in water with broadband electromagnetic noise with frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 50 MHz generated during plasma discharge [49]. Plasma treated water shows different gas absorption properties than pre-process water samples [34,35,36].…”

“…In our previous paper [34,35] we presented an industrial method of obtaining water capable of dissolving different gasses such as CO 2 and O 2 , but soon after and quite unexpectedly very good results have been recorded for hydrogen gas. Its solubility in water which passed the treatment with the use of radio noise enabled a high concentration of hydrogen to become a real admixture.…”
