A glassy thin film was formed on the surface of the blast furnace slag. When blast furnace slag is used as an admixture of concrete, addition of alkali activators were required. However, alkali activators are not only dangerous as chemical products, but they are also difficult to use as expensive materials. Therefore, it is necessary to study the way of removal of the glassy thin film of blast furnace slag without the risk and cost increase. In this study, to solve this problem, experiment was carried out to improve the hydration reactivity by treatment the surface of blast furnace slag using arc discharge. Experimental results show that when the surface of the blast furnace slag was tratmented by arc discharge, the glassy thin film was destroyed. And the hydration reactivity was improved, the compressive strength was increased.

The use of plasma has increased in bio-application field in recent years. Particularly, water treated by arc discharge or atmospheric pressure plasma has been actively utilized in bio-industry. In this study, we have developed a plasma activated water generating system. For this system, two kinds of plasma sources; dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma and arc discharge plasma have been used. The discharge energy was calculated using the breakdown voltage and current, and the emission spectrum was measured to investigate the generated reactive species. We also analyzed the amount of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in water using the chemical methods and nitric oxide sensor. Finally, the influence of plasma generated reactive species on the germination and growth of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) was investigated. Spinach is a green leafy vegetable that contains a large amount of various physiologically active organic compounds. However, it is characterized with a low seed germination rate.

Arc Fault Current is an electric discharge which is occurred in two opposite electrode. In this paper, arc current control algorithm is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which is occurred in the low voltage network. This arc is one of the main causes of electric fire. General arc current sensor has troubles for detecting arc currents, thus we would like to propose the arc current detection method without current sensor. In this paper, arc discharge currents within power lines are being detected through the arc current control algorithm.

In this paper, we analyzed the frequency spectrum of radiated electromagnetic waves generated by series arc- and corona- discharges as a basic study to develop an online diagnostic technique for power facilities installed inside switchboards. To simulate corona and series arc discharges, an arc generator specified in UL1699 and a corona generator were fabricated. The experiment was carried out in an electromagnetic shielding room, and the measurement system consists of an Ultra Log Antenna and an EMI Test Receiver. The frequency spectrum exists in ranges from 30 to 500 [MHz] for series arc discharge and 30 [MHz] to 2 [GHz] depending on defects for corona discharge. The peak frequency of series arc discharge and corona were 40 [MHz], 80 [MHz] and 35 [MHz]~160 [MHz], respectively.

Optoelectronic arc discharge sensor was used to detect arc discharge inside power distribution panel. Arc discharge is fatal to power system once it begins, thus preventive detection is necessary before power failure occurs. Optoelectronic detection method was used to avoid direct electrical contact to power apparatus inside power distribution panel. 180 degree detection angle and detection range far exceeding 6m, which was sufficient for monitoring purpose, was achieved using the photodiode having $7.5mm^2$ of active surface area and flash source with $0.4cal/cm^2$ energy density, which is equivalent to 1.9J with $2.16cm^2$ emitting area. The response speed of arc discharge sensor was measured to be below 1 msec. The above optoelectronic arc discharge sensor was measured to be sensitive enough to detect 0.94 pC charge.

The structure and properties of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings depend on the main process parameters and bending angles of the magnetic field filter used in the filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA). During the process, it is possible to effectively control the plasma flux of carbon ions incident on the substrate by controlling the arc discharge current, thereby influencing the mechanical properties of the coating film. Furthermore, we can control the size and amount of large particles mixed during carbon film formation while conforming with the bending angle of the mechanical filter mounted on the FCVA; therefore, it also influences the mechanical properties. In this study, we consider tribological characteristics for filtered bending angles of 45° and 90° as a function of arc discharge currents of 60 and 100 A, respectively. Experiment results indicate that the frictional behavior of the ta-C coating film is independent of the bending angle of the filter. However, its sliding wear behavior significantly changes according to the bending angle of the FCVA filter, unlike the effect of the discharge current. Further, upon changing the bending angle from 45° to 90°, abrasive wear gets accelerated, thereby changing the size and mixing amount of macro particles inside the coating film.

Carbon nanotubes are unique tubular structures of nanometer diameter and large length/diameter ratio. The nanotubes may consist of one up to tens and hundreds of concentric shells of carbons with adjacent shells separation of ~0.34 nm. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were synthesized by arc-discharge technique. MWCNTs were formed at the cathode deposit along with other carbonaceous materials like amorphous carbon, graphite etc. However, to get the best advantage of carbon nanotubes in various advanced applications, these undesired carbonaceous materials to be removed which is a challenging task. In the present study, various techniques were tried out for purifying MWCNTs such as physical filtration, chemical treatment and thermal annealing. SEM, FTIR, TGA and BET techniques were used to characterize the CNTs at various stages. Results shows that suitable chemical treatment followed by thermal annealing under controlled flow of oxygen gives the better route for purification of carbon nanotubes.

It found that the maximum temperature of the arc discharge occurred on the Silicone rubber sample significantly decreased with increasing the reinforcing agent. It was confirmed that the current value decreased with increasing the aluminium trihydrate($Al(OH)_3$) and the current value increased with reducing the primary resistance over time. Regarding these results, may be it is because the degradation due to the electro-conductive carbonization was improved and the properties of dielectric breakdown was reduced by the flame retardant reinforcing agent. It found that the electro-conductive carbonized road has not happened by increasing the flame retardant reinforcing agent. Regarding to the arc discharge, this study show that the arc arising near the lower electrode of sample has disappeared.
