GAS-LIQUID PLASMA AND BIOREACTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMEDIATION OF LIQUIDS AND GASES
A mixture comprising liquid water, a gas and at least one organic compound are injected into a non-thermal gas-liquid plasma discharge reactor to generate a flowing liquid film region with a gas stream flowing alongside. A plasma discharge is propagated along the flowing liquid film region. Water is dissociated and reactive species such as hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen oxides are formed. The organic compound reacts with the reactive species such as hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide present in the flowing liquid film region and in the flowing gas stream to produce organic compound dissociation products. At least some organic compound dissociation products and nitrogen oxides are transferred to a bioreactor for further degradation of organic compounds. The nitrogen oxides are used as nutrients for bacteria in the bioreactor. Feedback control of the plasma reactor is based on conditions detected and determined in the biological reactor.
METHOD FOR REACTING FLOWING LIQUID AND GAS IN A PLASMA DISCHARGE REACTOR
The activation of the CH bond using low temperature plasma with an inlet liquid stream such that value added products are formed effectively. An organic liquid (e.g., hexane which is immiscible with liquid water) is injected into a flowing gas (argon) stream followed by mixing with a liquid water stream. Thereafter, the mixture contacts a plasma region formed by a pulsed electric discharge. The plasma formed with the flowing liquid and gas between the two electrodes causes chemical reactions that generate various compounds.

Boron-doped carbon nanotubes synthesized by arc discharge and method of manufacturing the same
Disclosed are a multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) formed using arc discharge and a method for manufacturing the same. The carbon source of the anode and boron that is the doping source, are evaporated through arc discharge and then deposited on the surface of the cathode to form MWCNTs, and boron is evenly distributed in the multi-walls of the MWCNTs. Therefore, the outer diameter of the MWCNT is reduced, high thermal stability is secured, and the effect of improving the field emission characteristics can be obtained.
