Modeling of the chemical composition of DC atmospheric pressure air discharge plasma in contact with aqueous solutions of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate

Аннотация

The results of calculation of the chemical composition of plasma of the DC atmospheric pressure discharge in air in contact with aqueous solutions of sulfonol (C₁₂H₂₅C₆H₄SO₃Na) in the concentration range of 0–10 g/L at a discharge current of 40 mA are presented. At modeling, the combined solution of Boltzmann equation for the electron gas, equations of vibrational kinetics for ground states of N₂, O₂, H₂O, and NO molecules, equations of chemical kinetics and plasma conductivity equation were used. It was shown that sodium atoms appearing as a result of transfer processes from the liquid cathode affect the chemical composition of the plasma and the characteristics of the electron gas.
