  • 고주파 고전압 펄스전원을 제작하고 발생되는 펄스고전압의 시비율과 주파수가 비열플라즈마 발생에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 비열플라즈마 발생장치는 그물형의 방전전극을 사용한 새로운 형태로써 연면방전과 유전체 장벽방전을 동시에 이용할 수 있는 구조로 제작하였다. 비열플라즈마의 발생에 영향을 주는 주요인자는 방전에 의해 발생된 전자로써 이들의 움직임을 효과적으로 제어하기 위한 주요변수로써 시비율과 주파수를 선택하였으며 이 두 가지 변수는 전원의 효율에 관계된 전력소비량과도 직접적인 연관이 있다. 비열플라즈마 발생특성은 전류-전압특성과 방전에 의해 발생된 오존발생량을 측정함으로써 간접적으로 조사되었다. 실험결과 제작된 고주파 고전압 펄스발생장치에 의해 가장 효과적인 비열플라즈마를 발생시키는 시비율과 주파수조건을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Since the introduction of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma in the field of the dentistry, numerous applications have been investigated. Especially with its advantages over existing vacuum plasma in terms of portability, low cost, and non-thermal damage, it can be directly applied in the oral cavity, giving number of potentials for dental application. First, possible application of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma in the field of dentistry is relation to dental caries and periodontal diseases. Teeth and alveolar bones are one of the strongest bony structures in our body, but it cannot be regenerated when they are damaged by dental caries or periodontal disease. Hence many studies to prevent such diseases have been carried out, though no perfect solution has been found yet. With recent studies of modifying surfaces through non-thermal atmospheric pressure application that can prevent attachment of bacteria, or studies on bactericidal effects of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma can be applied here to prevent oral pathogen and 'biofilm' attachment to the surface of teeth or directly eliminate the dental caries/periodontal disease causing germs. Secondly, non-thermal atmospheric pressure application will be useful on the surface of dental implant. It is well known that the success of dental implant surgery depends on the process known as 'osseointegration' that result from osteoblast attachment, proliferation and differentiation. As the application of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma on the surface of dental implant just before its introduction by the chair-side of dental surgery. Despite its long history, the generation of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma has been greatly increased with its application in dentistry.

  • Basic characteristics of non-thermal plasma process to remove C2H4 and NO have been experimentally investigated with a packed-bed type reactor and an ac power supply. The performance of the non-thermal plasma generated by ac power supply was compared with that of a wire-plate type reactor equipped with a pulsed power supply. The result shows that the non-thermal plasma can be effectively generated with an AC power supply that can be easily fabricated with conventional techniques. In order to understand the basic reaction mechanisms of the non-thermal plasma process, parametric tests for different carrier gases(air and nitrogen) and for different reaction pathways have been performed. The test results show that O3 generated by non-thermal plasma plays an dominant role to oxidize C2H4 and NO over N and O radicals when these pollutant gases are carried by dry air under room temperature condition. Experimental observations, however, indicate that N and O radicals can significantly affect on the removal process of the pollutant gases under certain conditions.

  • Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma, also named cold plasma, is defined as a partly ionized gas. Therefore, it cannot be equated with plasma from blood; it is not biological in nature. Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma is a new innovative approach in medicine not only for the treatment of wounds, but with a wide-range of other applications, as e.g. topical treatment of other skin diseases with microbial involvement or treatment of cancer diseases. This review emphasizes plasma effects on wound healing. Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma can support wound healing by its antiseptic effects, by stimulation of proliferation and migration of wound relating skin cells, by activation or inhibition of integrin receptors on the cell surface or by its pro-angiogenic effect. We summarize the effects of plasma on eukaryotic cells, especially on keratinocytes in terms of viability, proliferation, DNA, adhesion molecules and angiogenesis together with the role of reactive oxygen species and other components of plasma. The outcome of first clinical trials regarding wound healing is pointed out.

  • A reaction mechanism of methane partial oxidation, which consists of thermal and plasma chemistry reaction pathways, has been investigated using with an arc-jet reactor. The reaction zone of the arc-jet reactor is spatially separated into thermal and non-thermal plasma zone. Methane conversion rates, selectivity of $H_2$ and $C_2$ chemicals in each zone are obtained, which reveals clearly different characteristics of reaction pathways depending on the temperature conditions. The conversion rates obtained in thermal plasma zone is higher than those in non-thermal plasma zone. The selectivity, however, obtained in non-thermal plasma zone is significantly higher than those in thermal plasma zone. Further parametric study on $O_2/C$ ratio, arc length and SED shows that the present process is mainly governed by thermal chemistry pathways.

  • Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) can be generated by using non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet which have profound biomedical applications [1, 2]. In this work, reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl radical (OH) are generated by using non-thermal direct plasma jet above water surface using Ar gas and their properties have been studied using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. OH radicals are found to be generated simultaneously with the discharge current with concentration of $2.7{\times}1015/cm3$ at 7mm above water surface while their persistence time have been measured to be $2.8{\mu}S$. In addition, it has been shown that plasma initiated ultraviolets play a major role to generate RONS inside water. Further works are going on to measure the temporal behavior of OH and $O2^*-$.

  • Atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma of the needle-typed interaction with aqueous solutions has received increasing attention for their biomedical applications [1]. In this context, surface discharges at bio-solutions were investigated experimentally. We have generated the non-thermal plasma jet bombarding the bio-solution surface by using an Ar gas flow and investigated the emission lines by OES (optical emission spectroscopy) [2]. Moreover, The non-thermal plasma interaction with bio-solutions has received increasing attention for their biomedical applications. So we researched, the OH radical density of various biological solutions in the surface by non-thermal plasma were investigated by Ar gases. The OH radical density of DI water; deionized water, DMEM Dulbecco's modified eagle medium, and PBS; 1x phosphate buffered saline by non-thermal plasma jet. It is noted that the OH radical density of DI water and DMEM are measured to be about $4.33{\times}1016cm-3$ and $2.18{\times}1016cm-3$, respectively, under Ar gas flow 250 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute) in this experiment. The OH radical density of buffer solution such as PBS has also been investigated and measured to be value of about $2.18{\times}1016cm-3$ by the ultraviolet optical absorption spectroscopy.

  • Simultaneous effects of $C_2H_4$ injection and heterogeneous chemical reactions on non-thermal plasma process to remove $SO_2$ and NOx from flue gas were investigated in the present experimental study. The present results showed that 40% of the electrical power can be reduced in $C_2H_4$ injection and heterogeneous chemical reaction are simultaneously included in the non-thermal plasma precess. As an effort to apply the non-thermal plasma technique to practical flue gas treatment system, a wire-plate type reactor which has technically similar geometry of industrial electrostatic precipitators is used instead of other types of reactors, such as wire-cylinder, packed-bed and surface discharge which are inappropriate to industrial application. In the present study, the photo pictures of positive streamer corona taken by ICCD camera, voltage and current oscillograms, and design criteria of a wire-plate type reactor are also shown, which are needed for industrial application of the non-thermal plasma process.

  • A non-thermal plasma process combined with $Cr_2O_3/TiO_2$ catalyst was applied to the decomposition of trichloroethylene (TCE). A dielectric barrier discharge reactor operated with AC high voltage was used as the non-thermal plasma reactor. The effects of reaction temperature and input power on the decomposition of TCE and the formation of byproducts including HCl, $Cl_2$, CO, NO, $NO_2$ and $O_3$ were examined. At an identical input power, the increase in the reaction temperature from 373 K to 473 K decreased the decomposition of TCE in the plasma reactor. The presence of the catalyst downstream the plasma reactor not only enhanced the decomposition of TCE but also affected the distribution of byproducts, significantly. However, synergistic effect as a result of the combination of non-thermal plasma with catalyst was not observed, i.e., the TCE decomposition efficiency in this plasma-catalyst combination system was almost similar to the sum of those obtained with each process.

  • 본 논문에서는 대기압 저온 플라즈마를 이용하여 저농도의 유해물질로서 배출되는 NOx, SOx, 휘발성 유기화학물(VOCs), 악취, 매연입자를 처리하는 대기환경설비기술에 대해 살펴보았다. 대기압 저온 플라즈마는 대부분 코로나 및 유전체방전을 통해 발생되며, 저온 플라즈마는 배출가스의 99% 이상을 차지하는 산소, 질소, 이산화탄소 및 수증기의 엔탈피를 증가시키지 않고서도 즉, 낮은 공정온도 조건에서 유해가스를 선택적으로 처리하는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 저온 플라즈마 발생 및 이로 인해 유도된 화학반응의 특성을 수치해석 및 실험결과를 통해 살펴봄으로서 유해물질을 처리하는데 적합한 플라즈마의 조건(전자 에너지 밀도)을 제시하였고, 이를 구체적으로 달성하기 위한 반응기 형상 및 전력조건을 제시하였다. 본 논문의 후반부에서는 해당기술의 개발사례 및 현재 이들 기술이 갖는 기술 및 경제적인 한계점을 제시함으로서 향후 관련기술의 완성도를 높이는데 도움이 되고자 하였다.
