Effect of Electrodes Material on the Performance of Batch Reactor Using Plasma Enhanced Technique for Wastewater Treatment

Abstract:

The plasma degradation process of Eosin yellow aqueous solution utilizing AC corona discharge generated above liquid with a type of pin to plate by utilizing multiple needles electrodesis investigated the influence of electrodes material and effect of ferrous sulfate on decoloration and the kinetics of process are discussed. The AC corona discharge plasma was generated in the air gap between tip of needles and the water surface. The experimental results indicate that the decoloration rate increases with using stainless steel electrodes and with increasing the concentration of FeSO₄. When dye concentration is 10 mg/L with pH of 3, the air gaps were 0.85 cm and the number of pins were 30, the decoloration rate went up to 97% in 60 min.
