Exemplary embodiments of systems for generating large volumes of plasma activated liquids are disclosed herein. An exemplary system for creating a large volume of plasma-activated liquid includes a gas pump that moves a gas and liquid entrained in the gas, one or more plasma generators for generating plasma to activate at least one of the gas and the liquid entrained in the gas, a supply of liquid to be activated, a liquid aerator for creating an aerated liquid to be entrained in the gas, an activation chamber for activating the aerated liquid by contacting at least one of the aerated liquid or aerated liquid entrained in gas with plasma or plasma activated gas to form an activated liquid gas mixture. The exemplary system also includes a liquid gas separator positioned downstream of the activation chamber. The liquid gas separator separates at least a portion of the activated liquid gas mixture into an activated liquid and the gas. The activated liquid flows out of a first portion of the liquid gas separator and the gas flows out of a second portion of the liquid gas separator.

A plasma generated by a plasma generator is used to activate a fluid in a variety of ways to generate a plasma activated liquid or gas. The plasma generator may be controlled to optimize, such as maximize, a radical concentration in the plasma activated liquid or gas. The plasma activated fluid may be applied to various items, surfaces, and/or added to fluid volumes to affect chemical specifies and organism therein.

The present invention relates to the corona discharge-induced cracking of hydrogen-containing gas into molecular hydrogen and at least one by-product, or the production of molecular hydrogen and at least one by-product, or the production of downstream products from the molecular hydrogen and/or the at least one by-product. To this end, hydrogen-containing gas is fed via a gas supply line into a gas-tight reaction chamber with exactly one plasma electrode. The gas-tight reaction chamber is enclosed by a wall that is designed to electrically insulate the plasma electrode from an outside of the wall. The plasma electrode is connected to a high-frequency generator that provides high-frequency alternating voltage and generates corona discharges in the reaction chamber by means of the high-frequency alternating voltage. This results in the cracking of hydrogen-containing gas into molecular hydrogen and at least one by-product. The molecular hydrogen is discharged from the reaction chamber via a gas discharge line. The hydrogen-containing gas can contain, for example, methane, biogas, natural gas, hydrogen sulfide, or cyclohexane, heptane, toluene, gasoline, JP-8, or diesel that have been converted into the gaseous aggregate state.
