Chemical processes initiated by a nonequilibrium plasma in solutions

Oxidation of I-, Br-, S2-, Cr2+, and Mn2+ ions, as well as monochlorotriazine blue, in aqueous solutions was studied. The process was initiated by a steady-state discharge between a metal anode and an electrolyte solution. These reactions were found to be associated with active particles generated in both the gas-discharge plasma zone and the surface layer of the solution.
