Abstract: A non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma reactor including a primary dielectric having at least one slit defined therein and a segmented electrode including a plurality of electrode segments. Each electrode segment disposed proximate and in fluid communication with an associated slit. The slit in the dielectric may be formed in any number of ways such as a plurality of slits defined in a substantially planar dielectric plate. Other configurations include a plurality of dielectric segments (e.g., bars, slabs, rings, annular sections) assembled together so that a slit is formed between adjacent dielectric segments. In operation a voltage differential is applied between the segmented electrode and a receiving electrode disposed proximate the primary dielectric to produce a plasma discharge. The plasma discharge is emitted through the slits in the primary dielectric. This inventive plasma discharge device configuration produces a relatively high density non-thermal plasma discharge of relatively large volume yet is relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for altering a carbon-containing compound in an aqueous mixture. According to a first aspect of the present invention, it has been discovered that for an aqueous mixture having a carbon containing compound with an ozone reaction rate less than the ozone reaction rate of pentachlorophenol, use of corona discharge in a low or non-oxidizing atmosphere increases the rate of destruction of the carbon containing compound compared to corona discharge an oxidizing atmosphere. For an aqueous mixture containing pentachlorphenol, there was essentially no difference in destruction between atmospheres. According to a second aspect of the present invention, it has been further discovered that an aqueous mixture having a carbon-containing compound in the presence of a catalyst and oxygen resulted in an increased destruction rate of the carbon containing compound compared to no catalyst.
