Destruction of organic compounds in gaseous and liquid media in plasma microwave discharge

The paper introduces the results of experimental studies of organic compounds molecular destruction in gaseous and liquid media using a microwave discharge plasma at atmospheric pressurem. Air and argon were used as the plasma gases in the experiments on disrupture of aqueous liquid organic compounds. By applying of inversible redox indicator of methylene blue (MB) it was shown that disrupture of organic substances in microwave plasma had been based on redox reactions. It was found that MB highest efficiency in the solution took place when air plasma-supporting gas had been used. New materials such as hydrogen, acetylene, ethylene, carbon nanostructured material were generated as the result of destruction of natural gas molecules in microwave discharge plasma.
