A method for generating plasma activated water and its biological assessments

Summary form only given. Plasma water treatment is starting to be applied in Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP). It was experimentally established that water plasmas contain a lot of chemically active species such as OH radical, O radical, H radical which have strongly oxidized agents[su[1]}. in this study, we propose researches on electrical discharge condition having a high impulse current as well as formation of radicals in water and other fluid mediums. the treatment results show that the activated water has the possible biological effects on microorganisms. a method to generating plasma activated water (PAW) was based on a well-known electrolytic method consists of a constant electrical current between unlike electrodes submerged in treated water (WO 96/06048, SU 882944, RU 21133411) [2] . another presumable application for PAW is about to effectively remove chlorine disinfection by-products from water supplies facilities in sufficient quantities, as a substitute for drinkable water. the activated water received by this method can be easily used in waste water treatment, sterilization and other chemical processing.
