Plasma activated water prepared by electrical discharge in liquids

The aim of the diploma thesis is generation of active particles in plasma activated water (PAW) using a low-temperature plasma discharge. In this work I focus on the determination of hydrogen peroxide, nitrites and nitrates as active particles. The practical part is focused on a specific case of use of a plasma discharge in selected electrolytes dissolved in an aqueous solution. Here, three phosphates, differing in the number of acidic hydrogens, were selected for each experiment, and sodium chloride and tap water were compared for comparison. Phosphates were selected for their stable pH during plasma discharge in solution to monitor the effect of pH. The experiments were focused on investigating the stability of active particles in PAW, under which conditions is the highest production rate of these particles and what effect the pH value has on the result. It was found that hydrogen peroxide is generated the most in an alkaline environment but shows better stability in neutral. The concentration of generated nitrites is not high, but it shows stability, regardless of the polarity of the main electrode used for PAW generation. Nitrites were generated the most in alkaline environment and nitrates in acidic environment. One of the conclusions is that nitrates are not a very stable particle in PAW. Thanks to the activation and oxidation properties of plasma activated water, this method can be used in medicine or agriculture
