Abstract:

We investigated the use of cold plasma generated by DC transient spark discharge in a contact with water solutions containing E. coli. By emploing the water electrode system, where the solution repetitively flow through the discharge zone, we observed more pronounced chemical and biological effects in non buffered solution compared to buffered. We analyzed the concentrations of various reactive species, pH and conductivity in dependence on gas mixture composition, solution flow rate and plasma treatment time. The chemical effects were correlated with observed bacterial inactivation.
