Plasma Discharge in Liquid - Water Treatment and Applications

Possibly the first one-stop reference on plasma discharge in liquids, this book details physical mechanisms of initiation and propagation of pulsed discharges in liquids. It covers the major types of plasma sources, their distinguishing features, and the fundamental limits of performance. It also describes a fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical phenomena associated with different types of plasma in liquids. The book examines state-of-the-art plasma-assisted water treatment technologies, such as microorganism sterilization, decontamination of volatile organic compounds, and cooling water treatment. Equations, figures, charts, graphs, and photographs are included to reinforce comprehension.
