Destruction of Organic Dyes in Aqueous Solution by Low-Temperature Plasma Jet Treatment

A method for the destruction of organic compounds in their aqueous solutions using a plasma jet, generated by a pulse power source, at atmospheric pressure in air has been proposed. The acid-base dyes Phenol Red and Methyl Orange have been used as model compounds. The kinetics of degradation of these compounds and the formation kinetics of some products have been studied.
