In this poster, a newly built Capacitively-Coupled radio-frequency argon discharge is used to explore the behaviours of pristine plasma, dusty plasma, and misty plasma. The primary objective is to analyse the behaviour of the discharges in various regimes, including single-drop and burst liquid drops regimes. Ultimately, the project aims to advance our understanding of aerosol-assisted plasma...
Discharges in liquid is a growing field of study in the cold plasma community. The non-equilibrium properties of such plasmas enable the production of reactive species in the liquid phase, which trigger some chemical reactions not accessible using the conventional chemical processes. Such unique properties make in-liquid discharges promising for different applications, namely liquid...
This paper introduces a novel technology for the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using plasma technology, inspired by the dry methane reforming method. Carbon dioxide and methane are the primary greenhouse gases responsible for climate change on Earth's surface. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) entails the simultaneous conversion of methane and carbon dioxide into synthesis gas and...
Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) allows the modification of the surface properties of materials used for the manufacturing of semiconductor devices.
It is based on a target immersed in plasma on which a series of negative high‐voltage pulses (NHVP) is applied in order to accelerate plasma ions into the target surface.
Understanding the evolution of plasma parameters during the...
This project explores the dynamics of plasma acceleration in low-$\beta$ plasmas, where magnetic energy dominates over internal kinetic energy, confining the plasma within magnetic fields. We investigate the adherence of low-$\beta$ plasmas to Alfvén's theorem, which describes the 'frozen-in' behavior of magnetic field lines. Such plasmas find applications in magnetic confinement fusion...
The contamination of peanuts by Aspergillus flavus and the subsequent production of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) poses significant health risks and economic losses to the food industry. High voltage atmospheric cold plasma (HVACP) has emerged as a promising non-thermal technology for mitigating fungal contamination and reducing mycotoxin levels in various food commodities, with short treatment time,...
Peanuts are highly susceptible to contamination with Aspergillus spp. mold in the field or during storage, which may lead to moldy peanuts or generation of aflatoxin, both of which are food safety issues. A. flavus is the main mold that produces aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). High voltage atmospheric cold plasma (HVACP) is an emerging non-thermal technology with short treatment time, low energy...
