METHOD FOR DISINFECTING A DENSE FLUID MEDIUM IN A DENSE MEDIUM PLASMA REACTOR

摘要

A method for disinfecting water and other dense fluid media containing microorganisms is carried out in a dense media plasma reactor. The plasma reaction in the reactor produces reactive species, such as electrons, ions, and free radicals that promote the inactivation of the microorganisms, in various embodiments, the plasma reaction also sputters off minute antimicrobial particles of the electrically conducting material from which the electrodes are made.
