Creepage discharge faults in air on solid insulating material play a vital role in degradation and ageing of material which ultimately leads to breakdown of power equipment. And electric discharge decompose air in to its by-products such as Ozone and $NO_x$ gases. By analyzing air decomposition gases is a potential method for fault diagnostic in air. In this paper, experimental research has been conducted to study the effect of creepage discharge on rate of generation of air decomposition by-products using different insulating materials such as RTV, epoxy and fiberglass laminated sheet. Moreover XRF analysis has been done to analyze creepage discharge effect on these insulating materials. All experiments have been done in an open air test cell under constant temperature and pressure conditions. While analysis has been made for low and high humidity conditions. The results show that the overall concentration of air decomposition by-products under creepage discharge in low humidity is 4% higher than concentration measured in high humidity. Based on this study a mathematical relationship is also proposed for the rate of generation of air decomposition by-products under creepage discharge fault. This study leads to indirect way for diagnostic of creepage discharge propagation in air.

In this paper, the $CF_4$ decomposition rate and by-product were investigated for two simulated plasma reactors which are metal particle reactor and spiral wire reactors as a function of mixed gases. The $CF_4$ decomposition rate by plasma reactor with metal particle electrode had a gain of 20~25% over that by plasma reactor with spiral wire electrode. The $CF_4$ decomposition efficiency increases with increasing applied voltage up to the critical voltage for spark formation. The $CF_4$ decomposition efficiency of metal particle reactor was about 80% at AC 24kV. The $CF_4$ decomposition rate used Ar-$N_2$ as base gas was the highest among three base gases of $N_2$, $Ar-N_2$, air. The by-products of the $N_2$, $N_2Ar$ base as were similar, but in case of air base they were different.

A new type of photocatalyst plasma air purification filter for decomposition of some VOCs has been developed. The photocatalyst plasma air purification filter employs the pulsed discharge plasma as an energy source of TiO2. photocatalyst instead of UV light. In closed room(2m3) test removal efficiency of some VOCs was 80∼100% in 15∼24 hours. In the initial step of phptocatalyst plasma reaction. Acetone and Nitromethane etc were detected. But they were completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O.

Thermal decomposition of ammonium metavanadate has been investigated by using the quartz spring balance and differential thermal analysis. It showed that the decomposition of ammonium metavanadate is proceeded at two stages which correspond to $180^{\circ}C-220^{\circ}C$ and $310^{\circ}C-330^{\circ}C$ decomposition temperatures, respectively. Evolved ammonia gas in thermal decomposition has been analyzed quantitatively by titration. And the constituents of gases evolved have been evaluated by gas chromatography and omegatron spectrometer. From these results, it was concluded that the gases evolved in the first step decomposition were $NH_3$ and $H_2O$ with 2:1 ratio and the second step decomposition corresponded to the formation of $NH_3$, $H_2O$ and $N_2O$ which was produced in oxidation of $NH_3$ by $V_2O_5$. The decomposition products were identified by means of X-ray diffraction method. The decomposition product in air was V_2O_5 and the product in vacuum $V_3O_7.$ The kinetics of the thermal decomposition was studied, giving the values of the activation energy of 41.4 kcal/mole and 64.4 (kcal/mole) respectively.

The sol-gel technique has been studied to fabricate a homogeneous Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst. Ambient effects (air, Ar, and $H_2$) on thermal decomposition of the citrate precursor have been systematically investigated to fabricate an Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst. Severe agglomeration of metal catalyst was observed under thermal decomposition of citrate precursor in air atmosphere. Ar/$H_2$ atmosphere effectively restricted agglomeration of bimetallic catalyst and formation of highly-dispersed Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst with high specific surface-area due to the formation of Fe-Mo nanoclusters within MgO support. High-quality thin-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (t-MWCNTs) with uniform diameters were achieved on a large scale by catalytic decomposition of methane over Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst prepared under Ar-atmosphere. The produced t-MWCNTs had outer diameters in the range of 4-8 nm (average diameter ~6.6 nm) and wall numbers in the range of 4-7 graphenes. The as-synthesized t-MWCNTs showed product yields over 450% relative to the utilized Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst, and indicated a purity of about 85%.

The effect of ZnO in the decomposition of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polystyrene (PS) mixtures in air atmosphere has been studied by thermogravimetry (TG) and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) under various mixing ratios and reaction temperatures. From this work, it can be seen that the yields of a liquid product were increased with the increase of PS in mixtures, whereas those of gaseous products were decreased. And the yields of a gaseous product and HCl were decreased with the increase of ZnO in mixtures. It was also found that HCl was rarely produced at ZnO/Mixture = 0.5 by the effect of ZnO in dehydrochlorination of PVC.

We investigated heat stability of epoxy resin products and epoxy resin according to the influence hardener. The heat flow which shows the degree of thermal decomposition of the epoxy resin product and epoxy resin measured by using the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). As a result, we found that in the case of heat stability for epoxy resin as hardener was added, the ratio of one to one (epoxy resin : hardener) was the most suitable in air condition and nitrogen atmosphere.

A combined process of non-thermal plasma and catalytic techniques has been investigated to treat toxic gas compounds in air. The treated gas in the present study is $CH_3$CN that has been known to be a simulant of toxic chemical agent. A planar type dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) reactor has been used to generate non-thermal plasma that produces various chemically active species, O, N, OH, $O_3$, ion, electrons, etc. Several different types of adsorbents and catalysts, which are MS 5A, MS 13X, Pt/alumina, are packed into the plasma reactor, and have been tested to save power consumption and to treat by-products. Various aspects of the present techniques, which are decomposition efficiencies along with the power consumption, by-product analysis, reaction pathways modified by the adsorbents and catalysts, have been discussed in the present study.

Ultrafine iron oxide powder, {{{{ gamma }}-Fe2O3 and $\alpha$-Fe2O3, were prepared by the thermal decomposition of organometallic compounds. The formation process of powder includes the thermal decomposition and oxidation of the organometallic precursors, Fe(N2H3COO)2(N2H4)2 (A) and N2H5Fe(N2H3COO)3.H2O (B). The organometallic precursors, A and B, were synthesized by the reaction of ferrous ion with hydrazinocarboxylic acid, and characterized by quantitative analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The mechanistic study for the thermal decomposition was performed by DAT-TG. The iron oxide powder was obtained by the heat treatment of the precursors at 20$0^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$ for half an hour in air. The phases of the resulting product were proved {{{{ gamma }}-Fe2O3 and $\alpha$-Fe2O3 respectively. The particle shape was equiaxial and the particle size was less than 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Magnetic properties of the {{{{ gamma }}-Fe2O3 powder obtained from A and B was 234 Oe of coercivity, 64.26 emu/g of saturation magnetization, 23.59 emu/g of remanent magnetization and 24.1 Oe, 47.27 emu/g, 3.118 emu/g respectively. The value of $\alpha$-Fe2O3 powder was 1.494 Oe, 0.4862 emu/g, 0.1832 emu/g and 1,276 Oe, 0.4854 emu/g, 0.1856 emu/g respectively.
