Plasma Technology in Disinfection and Sterilization: Core Principles and Emerging Innovations for Biological Applications

This research study introduces novel equipment and methods for plasma-ozone sanitization, designed to improve sterilization efficiency. At the core of the system is a multi-layered slab composed of three layers—first, mid, and second—which is essential for plasma generation. The plasma is produced by a plasma generation section that creates a potential difference through the slab, while an ignition coil provides the necessary voltage to initiate the plasma. The system's control unit is comprised of key components: a power amplifier that increases output voltage, a power driver, and a microcontroller that manages overall device functionality. A dedicated power supply ensures consistent operation. Additionally, the equipment is equipped with sensors that monitor various operational parameters, including object movement, to improve the sanitization process. The final component, the sanitization unit, disperses the plasma-ozone mixture onto the target surface to ensure comprehensive sterilization. This equipment offers a promising advancement in plasma-ozone-based disinfection technology.
