Decontamination of Bacteria by Gas-Liquid Gliding Arc Discharge: Application to \(Escherichia~coli\)

This paper investigated the bacterial inactivation/sterilization effects of a gas-liquid gliding arc discharge reactor, which created plasma at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. Bacteria Escherichia coli were subjected to plasma treatment and the survivability was examined. With the bact...

Description
Summary:This paper investigated the bacterial inactivation/sterilization effects of a gas-liquid gliding arc discharge reactor, which created plasma at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. Bacteria Escherichia coli were subjected to plasma treatment and the survivability was examined. With the bacteria suspension circulated at defined flow rate, the E. coli cells were almost killed in
