Plasma Degradation Of Dibromophenols And Interpretation By Molecular Orbital Theory

Dielectric barrier discharge was operated in the liquid-gas boundary and applied to the degradation of Dibromophenol (DBP). The brominated aromatic compound show acute toxicity to aqueous living and, occasionally, carcinogenic and hormone-disruptive effect for human. The plasma degradation provides the advanced oxidation process by charged species, anion as well as neutral radicals. Plasma-degradation with the anion-exchange successfully worked and the controlled the production of BrO3- by NO3-. Interpretation of the observed difference in the resistance is interpreted using the Molecular Orbital Theory. (C) 2019 The Japan Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion Research
