In this paper, the dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator has been studied for producing of the high concentration ozone gas. Proposed plasma generator has the structure of extremely narrow discharge air gap(0.15mm) in order to realize the high electric field discharge. We investigate the performance of the dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator experimentally and the results show that the generator has very high ozone concentration characteristics of 13.7[wt%/$O_2$] at the oxygen flow rate of 1[${\ell}$/min] of each discharge cell. So, we confirmed that the proposed plasma generator is suitable for the high concentration ozone production facility of the eco-friendly ozone functional water cleaning system in the electronic components cleaning process.

The stealth technology to conceal an aircraft from the vision of a radar have been accomplished by coating the surface with special paints absorbing the electromagnetic wave. Nowadays, researches to utilize characteristics of the plasma-wave interaction for realizing the stealth technology are actively progressed. In this paper, to investigate the physical feasibility of the plasma stealth, calculation results for the required conditions of the plasma cloaking on the aircraft flying in the air for showing the stealth function, using a flat non-magnetized non-uniform plasma model, are reported and discussed.

The influence of plasma discharge on the nutrient components ($NO_3$-N, $NH_4$-N, $PO_4$-P, K, Ca, and Mg) and water quality [pH, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) and electric conductivity] of hydroponic water were investigated. It was observed that the $NH_4$-N, $PO_4$-P, K, Ca, and Mg were kept at the constant concentrations for plasma discharging of 90 min. On the other hand, $NO_3$-N concentration was increased with proceeding of the plasma discharge. The increase of $NO_3$-N concentration was considered with the fact that nitric acid was created from nitrogen among supplying air for the insulation of inside of dielectric barrier. ORP and electric conductivity was increased with plasma discharging time. However, pH was decrease with what because of the generation of the nitric acid. When adjusting the hydroponic ingredients, pH and conductivity must to be considered because of the change of pH and conductivitiy with the discharging.

effectiveness of the PAM graphite-electrode technology for the treatment of many types of low-level radioactive waste including : combustible material, solidified resins in cement, inorganic materials, steel, glass, and solidified boric acid cement. The objectives of PAM-200 evaluation were to verify that 1) the facility meets air emission regulations, 2) the facility can be safely operated when processing hazardous and radioactive materials and 3) satisfactory final waste forms can be produced. Results, derived from KAERI's(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) analyses for samples of vitrified product, scrubbing solution and offgas collected during test period, show that PAM-200 can treat radioactive wastes as well as hazardous wastes with toxic constituents and radionuclides contained in the offgas exiting from the stack to the environment controlled to be far lower than the limit regulated by air conservation law and atomic law.

최근 실내공기 질(IAQ : Indoor Air Quality)에 관한 인식이 높아지고 있으며 환경개선에 상응하는 기술 개발의 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있다. 실제 산업체에서는 여러 가스정화기술들이 오염물질제거에 이용되어 왔고, 그 한 분야인 N.T.P(Non-thermal plasma Process) 공정도 다양한 각도에서 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 그러나, 이 기술의 실용화를 위한 설계변수 개념의 연구는 부족한 실정으로, 이에 본 연구는N.T.P 공정에 의한 가스정화의 반 경험식 도출과 이를 이용한 성능 평가 고찰이 주목적이다. 또한, 반응기 통과 후 나오는 부산물을 동정하여, 차후 후단에 사용할 촉매를 결정 하고자 한다.

In this study, the air pollutant removal such as sulfur oxides was studied. A combination of the plasma discharge in the reactor by the reaction surface discharge reactor Calcium hydroxides catalytic reactor and air pollutants, hazardous gas SOx, changes in gas concentration, change in frequency, the thickness of the electrode, kinds of electrodes and the addition of simulated composite catalyst composed of a variety of gases, including decomposition experiments were performed by varying the process parameters. The experimental results showed the removal efficiency of 98% in the decomposition of sulfur oxides removal experiment when Calcium hydroxides catalysts and the tungsten(W) electrodes were used. It was increased 3% more than if you do not have the catalytic. If added to methane gas was added the removal efficiency increased decomposition.

최근 산업설비 및 기타 시설에서 배출되는 유해가스의 배출허용 기준이 계속 강화되고 있으며 그 중에서도 NOx는 SOx와 함께 대기오염의 주된 원인으로 작용하고 있다. 국내에서도 이들 유해가스를 제거하기 위한 플라즈마 적용기술이 활발히 연구되었으며, 일부 기술은 상용화 단계에 있다. NOx 제거에 있어서 펄스 코로나 방전에 의한 전자의 생성은 유입되는 가스 및 공기에 충돌하여 반응성이 큰 다량의 이온, 원자 및 radical(N, O, OH, $O_3$등)을 생성한다. (중략)

The effect of plasma treatment on surface characteristics of polycarbonate (PC) films was investigated using low pressure plasma and atmospheric pressure plasma with oxygen and argon. Untreated PC has a contact angle of $82.31^{\circ}$ with de-ionized water which reduced to $9.17^{\circ}$ as the lowest value after being treated with a low pressure plasma treatment with oxygen. Increase of delivered powers such as RF and AC with a high frequency and gas flow rates was not effective to reduce contact angles dramatically but gave the trend of reducing gradually. The surface of PC treated with plasma shows a low contact angle but the contact angle increases rapidly according to the exposure time in air ambient. Oxygen plasma was more effective to generate the polar functional group regardless of the type of plasma. Conclusively, a low plasma treatment with oxygen is more recommendable when the hydrophilic surface of PC is required.

Currently, teeth whitening method which is applicable to dental surgery is that physician expertises give medical treatment to teeth directly dealed with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. If hydrogen peroxide concentration is too high for treatment of maximized teeth whitening effect [1], it is harmful to the human body [2]. To the maximum effective and no harmful teeth whitening effect in a short period of time at home, we have observed the whitening effect using carbamide peroxide (15%) and a low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma jet which is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. The gas supplied conditions of the non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet was with the humidified (0.6%) gas in nitrogen or air at gas flow rate of 1000 sccm. Also, the measurement of chemical species from the jet was carried out using the optical emission spectroscopy (OES), the evidence of increased reactive oxygen species compared to non-humidified plasma jet. We have found that the whitening effect of the plasma is very excellent through this experiment, when bovine teeth are treated in carbamide peroxide (15%) and water vapor (0.2 to 1%). The brightness of whitening teeth was increased up to 2 times longer in the CIE chromaticity coordinates. The colorimetric spectrometer (CM-3500d) can measure color degree of whitening effect.
